Wei Dai's original b-money announcement alongside PipeNet 1.1

Figures: Wei Dai

From the Cypherpunks mailing list, November 26, 1998:

“I’ve discovered some attacks against the original PipeNet design. The new protocol, PipeNet 1.1, should fix the weaknesses. PipeNet 1.1 uses layered sequence numbers and MACs. This prevents a collusion between a receiver and a subset of switches from tracing the caller by modifying or swapping packets and then watching for garbage.

A description of PipeNet 1.1 is available at http://www.eskimo.com/~weidai.

Also available there is a description of b-money, a new protocol for monetary exchange and contract enforcement for pseudonyms.”
