PoW Captcha Core

pow-captcha-core is a simple, lightweight, and dependency-free Proof-of-Work (PoW) CAPTCHA library for Rust. It provides the core logic for generating and verifying PoW challenges.

Features

Generate PoW challenges with a specified difficulty.
Verify solutions provided by clients.
Solve challenges (intended for client-side use).
Supports SHA-256 and SHA-512 hashing algorithms.

Usage

Add the dependency:

cargo add pow-captcha-core

Example

use pow_captcha_core::{generate_challenge, solve_challenge, verify_solution, HashAlgorithm};

// 1. Server: Generate a challenge
let challenge = generate_challenge(Some(4), Some(HashAlgorithm::Sha256));

// 2. Client: Solve the challenge
let solution = solve_challenge(&challenge);

// 3. Server: Verify the solution
assert!(verify_solution(&challenge, &solution));
