Reply #30: David Chaum is a genius

[dlaliberte]

I remember David Chaum's DigiCash in the early web days. His approach seemed most credible as a way of keeping the digital cash anonymous, like real cash is (almost) but also preventing it from being forged or duplicated. This is almost the same thing as what we need in electronic ballots, with a few additional constraints.

Thanks for posting this. I would like to read more about what he has planned, but the Business 2 link requires joining. Can you either post more of the article or (better) give us some links to his work? Here is what I found.
