Tietmeyer-Only banks should issue electronic money
by Joseph M. Reagle Jr. 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

I'm sure they'd like to have it "applied to Internet network money.".... > FRANKFURT, Oct 3 (Reuter) - Bundesbank President Hans >Tietmeyer said on Thursday a new government policy to give only >banks the right to issue pre-paid cards, or ``electronic purses'', >should also be applied to Internet network money. > Tietmeyer said in the text of a speech to The Economic Club >of New York that G-10 central bank governors were addressing the >new payment forms because they may cause difficulties for >central banks to ensure the integrity of payments. > Tietmeyer noted European Union central bankers have agreed >that only banks should issue the pre-paid cards. The policy is >expected to be widened to include the rights to create and >maintain Internet-based electronic cash systems. > ``In our opinion, the same should definitely also apply to >network money,'' he said. > Tietmeyer said electronic forms of money tend to crowd out >currency and deposit money, which may increase the potential for >credit institutions to create money. > ``Electronic money may impair the supervisory functions of >the central bank, or, in other words, its function of ensuring >the integrity of payments,'' Tietmeyer said in a text of the >speech released in Frankfurt under embargo. > ``That would increase the risk of crises in one country >spreading out to engulf payment systems worldwide,'' he said. > Electronic purses are plastic cards with a built-in >micro-chip which stores the electronic cash value of an account >and can be reloaded at special machines. > The proposal to restrict such projects to banks is part of a >new German banking law which is still under preparation but >expected to be enforced in 1997. > Tietmeyer said it was difficult to create definitive >regulations for electronic money at ``this early stage''. > ``The evolution of electronic money is only in its infancy. >But it is a characteristic feature of today's world that >tomorrow's world will be upon us in no time,'' he said. > Electronic purses, also known as smart cards, are not yet >available in cash-dominated Germany but tests are being run on >several projects. > Internet banking is slowly gaining credence in Germany after >some of the top banks, including Dresdner Bank AG, launched >securities trading accounts via the Internet. _______________________ Regards, He who foresees calamities suffers them twice over. -?

OS/2 doesn't claim to be a secure multiuser operating system. If they have console access, they *can* get almost anything*. Unix can be secure, but most places don't run it in the most secure form. However, your average Unix box is probably going to do pretty well, especially if you've compiled Linux with an encrypting file system. Microsoft claims C2 or higher for NT and deserves any ragging they get if it's not. Ditto for any other vendor who claims one thing and sells another. BTW: Bizarre NT Quirk #15413 - The Administrator account does not have access to the entire disk. You got it - if you're the administrator you still cannot look into certain directories belonging to another user - even if you've given all access privileges to the Admin account. Got a few chuckles at work. * - The various OS/2 Servers have a new version of the High Performance File System. HPFS386 does a much better job of maintaining security. Apparently even the boot-floppy that can defeat NTFS won't work. I haven't verified this yet because I'm still waiting for my personal copy of Warp Server Advanced-SMP to arrive. # Chris Adams <adamsc(a)io-online.com> | http://www.io-online.com/adamsc/adamsc.htp # <cadams(a)acucobol.com> | send mail with subject "send PGPKEY" "That's our advantage at Microsoft; we set the standards and we can change them." --- Karen Hargrove, Microsoft (quoted in the Feb 1993 Unix Review editorial)

We certainly couldn't find drivers for half the protocals we use... Otherwise, I'd be tempted to point out the hazards in trusting one piece of code more than another. Particularly since that linux box would come with source code, whereas most NT services don't... Also, it came as a great shock to me that there was an "average" linux install.

Doctor Dobb's had an article (with source) that demonstrated a driver that gave full access to *EVERY* application running on an NT box.
