Proof of Work (JavaScript)

When Anubis is configured to use the fast or slow challenge methods, clients will be sent a small proof of work challenge. In order to get a token used to access the upstream resource, clients must calculate a complicated math puzzle with JavaScript.

A fast challenge uses a heavily optimized multithreaded implementation and a slow challenge uses a simplistic single-threaded implementation. The slow method is kept around for legacy compatibility.
