Abstract:
A network node may include one or more processors. The one or more processors may receive a message that is associated with one or more signatures and one or more second signatures. The one or more signatures may have been validated by a particular node. The one or more processors may determine that the particular node is a trusted node. The network node may be configured not to validate signatures that have been validated by a trusted node. The one or more processors may determine that the one or more signatures have been validated by the particular node. The one or more processors may sign or provide the message, without validating the one or more signatures, based on determining that the one or more signatures have been validated by the particular node.
