Abstract

A coordinating network element manages a protocol that prohibits the coordinating network element from substantively accessing data content that, at least in part, underlies received protocol-compliant requests. By one approach, these teachings provide for preventing substantive access to data information that is included within the protocol-compliant request in tokenized form, wherein the tokens are generated using secrets, at least one of which is unavailable to the coordinating network element.
