Abstract

A method to validate ownership of a resource within a network, comprising selecting a group of at least two validation agents such that network routes between a validation agent of the group and entities of a group of one or more entities associated to the resource do not intersect. The method further comprises transmitting a property of the resource to be validated and an address indicator for the resource from a coordinating agent to the group of validation agents. Also, the method comprises querying the property of the resource from the entities using the validation agents of the group to determine queried properties; and evaluating the queried properties to validate ownership of the resource.
