HashCash is an anti-spam, +anti-DoS system for email. The concept centers around the sender of the +mail completing a computationally expensive task (in this case, +generating hash collisions) that the recipient can verify very quickly. +This allows the sender to "pay" for transport in CPU cycles, creating +artificial scarcity. Programs are included to add payment to messages +(for the sender) and to verify message payment (for the recipient). |
