[nontopical stuff deleted]

"A group of students in the M.S. program in Information Networking at Carnegie Mellon University have designed and implemented a prototype of an Internet Billing Service -- an electronic credit card service for the Internet environment. The service provides account management, authentication, access control, credit verification, management reporting, billing and collection services to network-based service providers."
