Title : Proof-based Authentication for HTTP Messages
Author : Manu Sporny
Filename : draft-sporny-http-proofs-01.txt

Abstract:
For a client to access a particular resource on the Web, a server
must expend a certain amount of computational effort to respond to
the request. In some cases this computational effort is sizeable and
the server may want to only respond to certain clients. For example,
in a distributed denial-of-service attack, a server may require all
clients to expend a certain amount of resources via a client-run
proof-of-work algorithm to throttle the number of incoming requests
to a more manageable number. This document details a new
authentication scheme for HTTP that may be used to request and
transmit proofs in HTTP headers.
