2-20-96. FT:
"Cash versus cashless."
Assays Y/Ns of e-cash and declares DigiCash the winner
for its privacy and anonymity. Echoes DC privacy mantra
and sketches DC/DC tests underway by the EU. Compares
froth of issuers, fear of banks and so-what of
consumers: "Physical cash already offers consumers a
product that is universally accepted, convenient,
anonymous and has no direct costs."
2-20-96. WSJ:
"Security Sytem On the Internet Contains Flaw."
Two Purdue University students discovered a major flaw
in Kerberos that could allow a hacker to penetrate
corporate networks in about 5.8 seconds, giving another
black-eye to electronic commerce.
