Description

Netnews software can create and verify Cancel-Lock data according to RFC 8315. This helps Usenet systems authenticate cancel requests and reduce unauthorized message cancellation.

It is protocol support, not a newsreader. Correct security depends on how the news server or client stores secrets and applies Cancel-Lock validation.
