Privacy and pseudonymity

Ian Goldberg published this paper in 1997. Fascinating - it lays the direction that ZKS has gone, up to and including the agreement with Brands this week.

Freedom:

Freedom: Zero Knowledge Systems - I mentioned them earlier in the week - they are shipping software that pseudonymizes your travels online. Good idea. The real, “sticky” traffic on the web is social traffic, which can’t be pseudo. Hmmm.

Privacy is THE issue:

A Montreal company, Zero Knowledge Systems is working on it. Several friends of mine work there, and their head office is just around the corner. From everything I hear they do great work. But what about peer-review as it pertains to crypto? Have academics and cypherpunks been free to review the code underlying Freedom, at will? Or are they relying on the good name of their chief scientist, Ian Goldberg? What about the concerns raised by Declan McCullagh in Wired News?

Interesting:

I recently opted out of Doubleclick’s tracking system through Privacy Choices which is supposed to take care of this for us. And yet, just now, when I went to CBS MarketWatch, I got an E*Trade Canada ad. How would DoubleClick know that I’m Canadian?
