The internal strategic plan predicts that technology may help law enforcement by allowing agents to assemble ever-growing databases of Americans' financial activities, but it can also provide more anonymity than ever before. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) prepared the 36-page document, which was obtained by Wired News. It says: "The development of new technologies -- such as electronic cash, electronic purses, Internet or smartcard based electronic payment systems, and Internet banking -- is increasing the ability of individuals to rapidly transfer large sums of money, and could pose a challenge for FinCEN and other law enforcement agencies combating money laundering."

CDR: video of EFF end-of-RSA ball in SF?
by Jeff.Hodges＠kingsmountain.com 22 Sep '00

So, there was a person in the audience last night with a video camera & laptop rig who was recording the talks into (apparently) Real format. I asked him if he was streaming it out live and he said "no, no decent connection from here, I'll put it 'up' afterwards." I wasn't nosy (enough?) and didn't ask where. So does anyone know which site it might appear on? thanks, JeffH

Chaumian cash redux

22 Sep '00

At the EFF end-of-RSA ball in SF last night David Chaum stood up and said a few enigmatic words: "Great to be here, and what's really important now is that we all come together and have a common approach. I've looked at the old ecash and, (wry smile) there were a few problems. But I've got some ideas about how to fix it and make it available in a way which avoids the kind of wars we've had in the past. I had wanted to make more of an announcement tonight, but the legal stuff is (as always) taking longer than I'd anticipated. So, thank you." [applause] <Personal bits snipped> I have to believe that he's trying to "do the right thing". After all, he showed up at a patent-expiry party at the invite of cryptorights.org and eff and was pal-ing around with the leadership. My impression in watching [...] him is that he is quite a lonely guy. People treat him with deference as a demi-god, but he's not really engaged with the current "scene". <Snippage> <Somebody's .sig> --- end forwarded text -- ----------------- R. A.
