Abstract
Computer and communications systems and methods are provided in which a first computing system sends a second computing system a message and an associated deep-string and the second computing system applies a key of a cryptographic system or a one-way function to the deep-string to determine the deep-string's deep-string-depth. The second computing device then uses the determined deep-string-depth in determining subsequent behavior regarding the message. In some environments, a third computing device may generate and provide deep-strings of various deep-string-depths to the first computing device to ensure more favorable behavior of the second computing device.
