Claim Text:
1. Methodology for validating messages transmitted through a network, the network containing plural nodes connectable to form plural paths for communications transactions, comprising: selecting first and second paths according to a rotating sequence of routing paths between a first node and a second node; receiving a first message from the first node along a first path to the second node; receiving at least one second message from the first node along a second path to the second node; determining validity of at least one of the first message and the at least one second message based at least in part on the paths traveled by messages received by the second node, wherein determining the validity comprises comparing the paths taken by the first message and the at least one second message to determine whether the paths correspond to predetermined paths consistent with the rotating sequence of routing paths; and requesting reauthentication from the first node for messages arriving by paths other than the predetermined paths.
