For cpunxnews/cryptography:
Seems people missed this anonymous note about Dr Stefan Brands new
company http://www.credentica.com on cypherpunks -- interesting news
-- will Credentica persue ecash, private credentials, more liberal
licensing terms than digicash and ecash-technologies/infospace.
(Brands ecash and credential patent suite is the only major contender
to Chaum's patent suite. Chaum's patent suite was recently acquired
by Infospace for an undisclosed amount from ecash-technologies which
earlier bought the patents when digicash filed for chapter 11
bankruptcy.)

Subject: Brands credentica (Re: [Tsg] Micropayments & VISA?)
Your information is out of date: Brands is no longer at ZKS, last
month a new company was launched in which Brands is involved, see
www.credentica.com, the rights are not tangled up in any way (legal
separation, all rights cleared).
