Another thing before I go to bed. On the November issue of Scientific American the Essay column writen by Anne Eisenberg is titled "Doing Busioness on the Net". Its short (one page), but metions PK crypto, touches upon the dangers that online transcations pose to privacy, and talks a bit about ecash. Sadly there is no mention of ITAR *sight*

I was impressed with the slant of this essay. I remember another article on different forms of digital cash in Popular Science where the author mentions ecash and the only thing said about it was that it could aid drug-traffickers. I was glad to see the article in Scientific American that gives the positive side of ecash. It did seem from some of the responces to the Popular Science article that most people disagreed with the author's point of view on anonymous digital cash. `finger -l markm@omni.voicenet.com` for public key and Geek Code Public Key/1024: 0xF9B22BA5 BD 24 D0 8E 3C BB 53 47 20 54 FA 56 00 22 58 D5 Homepage URL:http://www.voicenet.com/~markm/
