This draft defines a way to allow a UAS to ask the UAC to compute a computationally expensive hash based function and present the result to the UAS. Although the computation is expensive for the UAC to compute, it is cheap for the UAS to verify. The solution also allows for proxies to compute and check the puzzle on behalf of the UAC or UAS. This draft currently outlines enough information to evaluate and consider this approach or even run experiments. It would need finalization around the forking topics discussed in the open issues before it would be implementable in production system.}, }
