- FOLDER : I, "Caller Information"
-
- Crypto is a hot topic. I'd like to mention one of my favorite articles at this
- time, although I've done it before.
-
- The October, 1985 Communications of the ACM (Association of Computing
- Machinery), featured an article, which inspired the front cover, entitled
- "Security Without Identification: Transaction Systems To Make 'Big Brother'
- Obsolete". David Chaum explained how to present unforgeable credentials across
- multiple pseudonyms to thwart dossier compilation. He also showed how a bank
- could issue untraceable electronic money! Don't use this for money laundering
- or income tax evasion, kids. The issue was bound on a shelf at UCI here in So.
- Cal - you might find an issue up there, too. I made copies.
