A data structure with endpoint address and security information. The data
structure includes an address field that includes one or more endpoint
addresses for an entity. The data structure further includes a security
field that includes one or more keys for facilitating secure
communications with the entity. The data structure may also be such that
the contents of the address field and the security field are serialized
in the data structure. The data structure may be extensible such that new
address fields and security fields may be added.
