Abstract: NetCash is a framework that supports realtime
electronic payments with provision of anonymity over an unsecure
network.  It is designed to enable new types of services on the
Internet which have not been practical to date because of the
absence of a secure, scalable, potentially anonymous payment
method.  NetCash strikes a balance between unconditionally
anonymous electronic currency, and signed instruments analogous
to checks that are more scalable but identify the principals in a
transaction.  It does this by providing the framework within
which proposed electronic currency protocols can be integrated
with the scalable, but non-anonymous, electronic banking
infrastructure that has been proposed for routine transactions.
