Methods and Systems for Using Deep-Strings in Computation and Communication

摘要

Computer and communications systems and methods are provided in which a first computing system sends a second computing system a message and an associated deep-string and the second computing system applies a key of a cryptographic system or a one-way function to the deep-string to determine the deep-string's deep-string-depth. The second computing device then uses the determined deep-string-depth in determining subsequent behavior regarding the message. In some environments, a third computing device may generate and provide deep-strings of various deep-string-depths to the first computing device to ensure more favorable behavior of the second computing device.

1. A machine-implemented method comprising:
receiving a digital string; effort processing said digital string with a predetermined cryptographic process to determine a deep-string-depth of the digital string and to determine if the deep-string-depth satisfies a predetermined requirement of string generation effort; performing a first predetermined process if said effort processing determines that said deep-string-depth satisfies said predetermined requirement of string generation effort; and performing a different second predetermined process if said effort processing determines that said deep-string-depth does not satisfy said predetermined requirement of string generation effort.
