Abstract: Provided is a process including: receiving a request from a first computing device to register another computing device; sending to the first computing device a registration code; receiving the registration code from a second computing device; sending an instruction to the designated application to send a value indicative of access to a cryptographic key; receiving from the designated application the value indicative of access to the cryptographic key; determining, based on the received value, that the received registration code was sent by the designated application and not another untrusted application.

Abstract: A distributed computing system conforms to a multi-level, hierarchical organizational model. One or more control nodes provide for the efficient and automated allocation and management of computing functions and resources within the distributed computing system in accordance with the organization model. The model includes four distinct levels: fabric, domains, tiers and nodes that provide for the logical abstraction and containment of the physical components as well as system and service application software of the enterprise. A user, such as a system administrator, interacts with the control nodes to logically define the hierarchical organization of distributed computing system. The control nodes are responsible for all levels of management in accordance with the model, including fabric management, domain creation, tier creation and node allocation and deployment.
