摘要: Proofs of work (PoW) have been suggested by Dwork and Naor (Crypto’92) as protection to a shared resource. The basic idea is ask the service requestor dedicate some non-trivial amount computational every request. original applications included prevention spam against denial attacks. More recently, PoWs used prevent double spending in Bitcoin digital currency system.
