Claim 2:
3. The method of claim 1, wherein processing the third message to determine whether the third message is valid comprises:
processing the third message to identify the information associated with performance of the at least one task by the other node;
processing the fourth message to identify the particular time window and the key;
determining that the time of performance of the at least one task by the other node occurred within the particular time window;
processing, using the key, the information associated with performance of the at least one task by the other node to determine that the other node used the key to generate the information associated with performance of the at least one task by the other node; and
determining, based on determining that the time of performance of the at least one task by the other node occurred within the particular time window and determining that the other node used the key to generate the information associated with performance of the at least one task by the other node, that the third message is valid.
