Thank you for being so patient. ecash is now available from our web site at: http//www.advance.com.au/ecash
I was unable to connect to the listed URL, but I rather suspect this is not a form of "e-cash" that is of much interest or use to Cypherpunks.
No mention of "untraceable" or "anonymous" or "Chaum." And no mention of "Digicash," except in your (Wayne's) introduction; Digicash is, rightly or wrongly, a trademark of the company with the same name.
The URL is workable, i.e., I was able to connect. Perusing the site, under "Advance Bank and ecash security", it states: "ecash uses military grade security technology. Used in conjunction with our secure Internet Banking program, we have taken maximum precautions to restrict access to your bank account or ecash." Under "military grade security technology" (which is an embedded link), it states: "Military grade security - ecash uses public key cryptology to protect your money as it passes over the Internet. Each user has two keys - a public key, used to encrypt information, and a private key which is kept secret and used to decipher information. More specifically, a combination of 3xDES, 512RSA and 1024RSA in conjunction with the 128 IDEA encryption used in the Internet Banking program, means your money and account information will be secure." ********************************************************* Lynne L.
