During the last months I've been working on an paper about legal aspects of electronic cash, in which DigiCash's ecash is one of the two main models I examined. The main part of the paper consists of a thesis on the qualification of ecash as an analogy to bank cheques or private banknotes based on digital documents. The paper contains a large list (40 items) of further literature, too. This paper is now available via Internet at the following Address: http://www.inf.ethz.ch/department/IS/ea/iur/1996/Arbeiten.html with a link to the file ftp://ftp.inf.ethz.ch/pub/org/ti/ga/Patru/legal/1996/schlauri.ar.ps (PostScript, 36 pages, about 370K. The paper is written in German.) I'm looking forward to your comments.
