    Abstract: A method of controlling the use of securely transmitted information in a network of stations in which each potentially cooperating station includes a cryptographic facility (10) which securely stores a master key and in which, for each transmission between a pair of stations, a cryptographic key result is provided for each station of the pair by a generating station which is either one of the pair or a station external to the pair under a cryptographic protocol common to the network, the cryptographic key results for the transmission having a random component notionally particular to the transmission, a master key variant component characteristic of the protocol and a target station component either particular to the stations individually or as a pair, wherein, in response to a generating command invoked in the generating station for establishing a controlled use secure transmission between a designated pair of stations, the generating station generates the cryptographic key result for each designated station, accesses the control value common to the system for the permitted operation for each of the stations for the particular transmission, combines the control value with the common key result or each individual key result and causes the appropriate combined key result to be established in each station of the pair for the transmission, and wherein the cryptographic facility (10) in each station is arranged, when an operating command is invoked to perform a designated operation with respect to such securely transmitted information, to automatically abort such operation unless it matches the control value.
