Abstract

A method for trusted notifications comprises: receiving, at a first host having at least one trusted server, a request message from a sender computing device, the request message comprising a request identifier and instructions to: update, at a second host, a recipient account associated with a recipient computing device, and to make a corresponding update at the first host to a sender account associated with the sender computing device. The method further comprises authorizing, at the first host, the request message; updating the sender account; generating a secure message at the at least one trusted server, the secure message comprising the request identifier and an indication from the at least one trusted server that the update completed; and sending the secure message from the first host to the sender computing device. The secure message can be received at the sender computer device and conveyed to the recipient computing device.
