e-WAVE [issue 42], a dutch language electronic newsletter published by Riverland Publications, reports that DigiCash has reached agreement with a big US bank to make eCash real.
DigiCash promised the 'scoop' to Newsweek, so in next monday's issue of Newsweek we will know wich bank that is. (They are also said to be talking with a Dutch or Belgian bank or financial institution).
Since there has been cut a deal with the monetary powers I wonder if we get the whole anonymous ecash or a 'diluted spieces'.
It will have the same features as the Ecash used in the trial. Payer is anonymous, but the payee isn't. I hope that I'll be able to finish some perl scripts that add this badly needed, but for political reasons missing, feature by the end of the month. - --- [This message has been signed by an auto-signing service.

Just some more noise about netscape 2, I have been playing around with netscape 2b1 and have extracted the certificates it trusts from the cert.db file. (The file is a Berkeley DB file and the certificates have a 7 byte prefix and a trailing printable string). They are as follows /C=US/O=AT&T/OU=Certification Authority /C=US/O=AT&T Bell Laboratories/OU=Prototype Research CA /C=US/SP=California/O=CommerceNet/OU=Server Certification Authority /C=US/O=MCI/OU=internetMCI/OU=MALL /C=US/OU=Test CA/O=Netscape Communications Corp. /C=US/O=RSA Data Security, Inc./OU=Commercial Certification Authority /C=US/O=RSA Data Security, Inc./OU=Secure Server Certification Authority The one unusual thing is that the CA for /OU=internetMCI/OU=MALL is missing subject=/C=US/O=MCI/OU=internetMCI/OU=MALL issuer= /C=US/O=MCI/OU=internetMCI/OU=PCA <<<<<<< (the ComerceNet is signed by one of the RSA certificates) The CommerceNet certificate is only using a 678 bit RSA modulus, the other certificates are either 1000 or 1024 bits long. If anyone wants the certificates I can send them. eric -- Eric Young | Signature removed since it was generating AARNet: eay@mincom.oz.au | more followups than the message contents :-)
This is exactly the same list that was in Netscape 1.x. The commercenet CA only appeared in 1.2 and the 1.22/1.12 security update. This list will change before 2.0 is released. --Jeff -- Jeff Weinstein - Electronic Munitions Specialist Netscape Communication Corporation jsw@netscape.com - http://home.netscape.com/people/jsw Any opinions expressed above are mine.
