open source electronic cash
The opencoin project implements "digital cash". The system gives minting software, wallet software and everything that is necessary to have a system for anonymous electronic transactions. It can be used for vouchers, online payments, complementary currencies etc.
opencoin defines standards and provides an implementation around the system as invented by David Chaum, known as electronic cash / digicash. The software and specs are opensource under a GPL License.
