Algorithm

Request attempt:

mermaid sequenceDiagram Client ->>+ Comproxity: request alt Has token Comproxity ->>+ Server: Request Server ->>- Comproxity: Response Comproxity ->> Client: Response else Comproxity ->>- Client: Redirect to verification, put nonce and request ID into Cookies end

Verification process:

mermaid sequenceDiagram Client ->>+ Verifier: Initial request Verifier ->>- Client: Verification UI Note right of Client: Performs computationally complex task Client ->>+ Verifier: Answer alt Correct Answer Verifier ->> Client: Redirect by request ID with signed token put into Cookies else Verifier ->>- Client: Retry verification end
