About this question
How are security levels implemented, so that the time to improve one can increase exponentially but the time to verify one at the server-side stays the same (or at least increases just linear)?
While reading some blogs regarding the security levels of identities in Teamspeak 3, I saw the following lines - TeamSpeak (TS) is a proprietary voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) application for audio communication between users on a chat channel, much like a telephone conference call. Users typically use headphones with a microphone. The client software connects to a TeamSpeak server of the user's choice, from which the user may join chat channels.
Btw: The max security is 128, so I guess that's the length in bits of the public key. I hope I was able to help - Tarion
