I have consulted at both DigiCash and Arcot. I am still
under nondisclosure to Arcot, so I can't answer any
questions about this that go beyond the publicly available
information. Arcot has recently made available on their public
web site "Software Smart Cards via Cryptographc Camouflage", at
http://www.arcot.com/camo2.html. At the end of
this paper is referenced Rivest's "Chaffing and Winnowing"
paper. These give a good overview of how such a technology
can work, and the scope of its application.
