Abstract

A method of and apparatus for transmitting data in systems such as computer networks, for example in client-server or peer-to-peer arrangements. Access to transmitted data received by a destination apparatus is limited by the provision of software code at the destination apparatus. The software code is arranged to produce a result which is a function of the state of the destination apparatus, and this result is used to access the data. The software code may be either transmitted to the destination apparatus, for example along with the data it is used to access or from a separate server, or may be generated at the destination apparatus. The method and apparatus is particularly applicable in the field of on-line gaming, wherein the transmitted data is encrypted gaming data and the result of the software code provides the access key to the encrypted data.
