Abstract

A method and system for labeling data in a networked environment. The method and system comprise determining if a label should be added to a portion of data having an associated first header. If so, a second header is constructed containing a label. The second header is indicated in a reference in the first header. The label contains at least one attribute of the data. The second header is attached to the first header. The portion of data is then transmitted, along with the headers. In one embodiment, the second header may contain credential information related to the data portion.
