Well, Sameer is offering a "Hack DigiCash" promotion, in the same spirit as the hack Netscape and Microsoft offer. However, Chaum is a fairly experienced cryptographer, and I doubt that there are any major security flaws in the system. The trial version used RSAREF, so that code at least was open for your inspection. There is still the possibility of bugs creeping in when porting to different platforms tho...
I think the most interesting hack to pursue is to eliminate the payee-nonanonymity problem. The current software uses the following protocol: [protocol elided]
Payee anonymity will never be integrated into the protocol for political reasons. Still, it is trivial to do this with current Ecash by setting up a repayer site. I'll release some perl scipts doing just that as soon as my current project is over (~2-3 weeks). - --- [This message has been signed by an auto-signing service.
