Title : Computational Puzzles for SPAM Reduction in SIP
Author(s) : C. Jennings
Filename : draft-jennings-sip-hashcash-06.txt
Pages : 29
Date : 2007-7-9
One of the techniques used in SPAM prevention and various solutions
for denial of service attacks is to force the SIP client requesting a
service to perform a calculation that limits the rate and increases
the cost of the request. 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.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-jennings-sip-hashcash-06.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
