This module implements a mint for the HashCash digital cash system. It provides methods to mint blinded coins, and to verify and spend HashCash coins.
Creates and returns a new Crypt::HashCash::Mint object.
Generates and saves blind signing keys for all coin denominations.
Loads saved mint keys from disk.
Returns an initialization vector for coin minting.
Mints and returns a blinded coin. Takes a single argument, the coin request.
Verifies the coin provided as the only argument, and returns true if the coin verified successfully, or false if it didn't. This method doesn't add the coin to the spent coins database.
Spends the coin provided as the only argument, and returns true if the coin was spent successfully, or false if it wasn't. This method adds the coin to the spent coins database.
Unspends the coin provided as the only argument. Returns undef if there was an error in the argument, 0 if the coin wasn't in the spent DB, or 1 if it was successfully unspent.
