AnoProof allows the reader to verify that two messages were written by the same anonymous author.

AnoProof allows the anonymous author to prove their identity in relation to a previous writing.

AnoProof works by appending a signature based on a hash of your message, to your message itself, signed by a secret key, with the public key encoded into the signature itself. This utilizes SHA256, Elliptic Curve asymmetric cryptography (ED25519), and a custom base-256 encoding scheme to ensure that signatures fit within half a tweet. This whole message, for example, was signed with AnoProof
