1. A method comprising:
detecting, by a secure executable container executed by a first endpoint device in a secure peer-to-peer data network, that a second endpoint device is unavailable for execution of a secure asynchronous transaction with the first endpoint device;
generating and sending, by the secure executable container, a secure request destined for an assisting device, the assisting device being one of the second endpoint device or a third network device in the secure peer-to-peer data network, the secure request requesting an indication once the second endpoint device is available for execution of the secure asynchronous transaction with the first endpoint device, wherein the secure request does not contain any user-generated data;
receiving, by the secure executable container, the indication generated by the assisting device that the second endpoint device is available for the execution of the secure asynchronous transaction; and
causing, by the secure executable container based on the indication, autonomic execution for completing the secure asynchronous transaction with the second endpoint device.
