【Abstract】One of the central challenges for mathematical cryptography is to create a payment system that provides the advantages of cash in a digital world. In this expository article we describe two very different solutions to this problem. The first is an elliptic-curve-based version of a construction of Brands, and the second is Bitcoin. We also discuss a generalization of Bitcoin that supports peer-to-peer contracts.
