rsa-pow-js-project

This project demonstrates generating an RSA keypair, performing a simple Proof-of-Work (POW) to find a nonce so that sha256(nickname+nonce) starts with a number of zeros, signing the resulting message with the private key and verifying with the public key.

Notes:

• Default POW difficulty is 4 leading zeros (i.e. 0000...).
• For unit tests we reduce difficulty to keep tests fast; production/demo run uses difficulty 4.
