Abstract
Certain embodiments involve controlling the timing of digital publication of sensitive data over a data network, especially in a case where a requirement exists to publish the sensitive data within an established timeframe. For instance, a computing system receives from a client device a request to publish sensitive data. The computing system provides to the client device a challenge useable as input to a verifiable delay function (VDF), responsive to the request. The computing system receives a response to the challenge along with the sensitive data and verifies that the response is a solution to the VDF applied to the challenge. Based on verifying the solution, the computing system publishes the sensitive data.
