Digicash's "ecash" System

What is it?

: A truly virtual currency -- no exchange for paper money
An untraceable digital payment scheme -- just like cash
Ecash may reside in a "software" wallet, or in a hardware "smartcard"
Consists of individual tokens of various value, individually signed

: Uses novel crypto algorithms based on public-key schemes: Blind Signatures
Analogous to bank signing bill enclosed in a carbon-lined envelope

: Beta test, Digicash as the bank
Clients (wallet software) are being distributed
Several shops accepting ecash are online
