Unreferenced date December 2009 A crypto society is an encrypted virtual community . It is nearly impossible to create a face to face crypto society as it would take too much time and resources to encrypt all the human to human interactions. Therefore, nearly all encrypted communities are hosted on the Internet with computers aiding the users in the encryption of their interactions. Usually, such communities employ public key cryptography public key cryptography to ensure that their users can speak freely amongst themselves with a greatly reduced probability of anyone else eavesdrop ping on their conversations. It is common for these communities to avoid real life identifiers, instead supporting anonymity or pseudonymity , so that members know each other by reputation .

Unreferenced date April 2008 Neologism date March 2012 Cipherspace or cypherspace is the encrypt ed and often pseudonymity pseudonymous or fully anonymity anonymous equivalent to cyberspace . Examples of cipherspaces include Freenet , I2P , Tor anonymity network Tor , and some Anonymous remailer anonymous mail forwarding services . According to its advocates, it should be impossible to know the actual identity of anyone in cipherspace. Therefore, it would be impossible to impose any censorship and to enforce any law. Because of that, they assert that concepts like copyright would be unenforceable inside cipherspace. Some doubt the possibility of complete anonymity , citing that real networks, even virtual private networks , need access to external resources, which tend to be trackable. wtf, just take a look at the Crypto anarchy article See also Anonymous internet banking Crypto anarchism Cryptography Cypherpunk Meatspace Virtual private network Category Applications of cryptography Category Anonymity networks Category Crypto anarchism Category Cyberspace crypto stub ca Criptoespai es Ciferespacio pt Criptoespa o ... more details

Gnosticism The Prayer of the Apostle Paul was the first manuscript from the Jung Codex Codex I of the Nag Hammadi Library . It seems to have been added to the codex after the longer tractates had been copied. Although the text, like the rest of the codices, is written in Coptic language Coptic , the title is written in Greek language Greek , which was the original language of the text. The manuscript is missing approximately two lines at the beginning. This text is clearly Pseudonymity pseudonymous and was not written by the historic Paul the Apostle Apostle Paul . It shows a distinctive Gnostic appeal unlike prayers in letters known to have come from Paul. Many scholars have dubbed it as a Valentinius Valentinian work due to characteristic phrases such as the psychic God this would indicate that it was composed between 150 and 300 AD. Scholars have found parallels to many other works which may be partial sources, including Corpus Hermeticum , the Three Steles of Seth , the Gospel of Philip , and the authentic Pauline letters.

Refimprove date February 2008 File The Wrath of Elihu Butts set.jpg thumb right 250px The Wrath of Elihu 1805 by William Blake one of William Blake s Illustrations of the Book of Job his series of illustrations of the Book of Job Elihu is a character in the Hebrew Bible s Book of Job . According to the Book of Job, Elihu is one of Job Bible Job s friends, descended from Nahor Job 32 2, 34 1 . He is said to have descended from Children of Eber Buz who may be from the line of Abraham Book of Genesis Genesis 22 20 21 mentions Buz as a nephew of Abraham . Synopsis of Elihu s Monologues He is mentioned late in the text, Chapter 32, and opens his discourse with more modesty than displayed by the other antagonists. Elihu differs from the other antagonists in that his monologues discuss divine providence , which he insists are full of wisdom and mercy, that the righteous have their share of prosperity in this life, no less than the wicked, that God is supreme and that it becomes us to acknowledge and submit to that supremacy since the Creator wisely rules the world he made . He draws instances of benignity from, for example, the constant wonders of creation and of the seasons. Chapters 32 through 37 of the Book of Job consist entirely of Elihu s speech to Job. He is never mentioned again after the end of this speech. Possible pseudonymity of the character The speeches of Elihu who is not mentioned in the prologue contradict the fundamental opinions expressed by the friendly accusers in the central body of the text, that it is impossible that the righteous should suffer, all pain being a punishment for some sin. Elihu states that suffering may be decreed for the righteous as a protection against greater sin, for moral betterment and warning, and to elicit greater trust and dependence on a merciful, compassionate God in the midst of adversity.

A pseudonymous remailer or nym server , as opposed to an anonymous remailer , is an Internet software program designed to allow people to write pseudonym ous messages on Usenet newsgroups and send pseudonymous email . Unlike purely anonymous remailers, it assigns its users a user name, and it keeps a database of instructions on how to return messages to the real user. These instructions usually involve the anonymous remailer network itself, thus protecting the true identity of the user. Primordial pseudonymous remailers once recorded enough information to trace the identity of the real user, making it possible for someone to obtain the identity of the real user through legal or illegal means. This form of pseudonymous remailer is no longer common. David Chaum wrote an article in 1981 that described many of the features present in modern pseudonymous remailers. ref cite journal first David last Chaum title Untraceable Electronic Mail, Return Addresses, and Digital Pseudonyms journal Communications of the ACM issue 2 date February 1981 url http freehaven.net anonbib cache chaum mix.pdf volume 24 ref The Penet remailer , which lasted from 1993 to 1996, was a popular pseudonymous remailer. Contemporary nym servers A nym server short for pseudonymity pseudonym server is a Server computing server that provides an untraceable e mail address, such that neither the nym server operator nor the operators of the remailers involved can discover which nym corresponds to which real identity. To set up a nym, you create a Pretty Good Privacy PGP keypair and submit it to the nym server, along with instructions called a reply block to anonymous remailer s such as Cypherpunk anonymous remailer Cypherpunk or Mixmaster anonymous remailer Mixmaster on how to send a message to your real address. The nym server returns a confirmation through this reply block. You then send a message to the address in the confirmation.

Unreferenced date April 2011 Anonymous Internet banking is the proposed use of strong financial cryptography to make electronic bank secrecy or more precisely pseudonymity pseudonymous banking possible. The bank issues currency in the form of electronic tokens that can be converted on presentation to the bank to some other currency. This concept has a long history in which free banking institutions have issued their own paper currency often backed by a physical commodity. History Whilst the academic study of trust relationships and systems has long been the forte of intelligence services such as the NSA , the growth of the Internet in the 1990s and the contemporary declassification of related knowledge allowed for greater public discussion of the potential for anonymous banking services by groups such as the Cryptoanarchy cryptoanarchists and cypherpunks . Implemented systems Examples of anonymous internet banking services and software that have already been implemented include eCache an anonymous bank operating over the Tor anonymity network Tor network. Pecunix an anonymous digital gold currency. Yodelbank an anonymous bank built on top of various digital gold currencies which ended operations during November 2005. Private Payments System an anonymous digital currency offshore registred . The underlying mathematics Anonymous internet banking depends on the mathematics of public key cryptography and blind signature algorithms. In this simple example we have Alice and Bob and a banker. The banker generates an RSA algorithm RSA public key with modulus math n P Q math , where math P math and math Q math are large Prime number primes , making math n math a semiprime . As described in RSA algorithm Operation RSA operation , the bank also generates public key exponent math e math and private key exponent math d math . Bob asks the banker for a 100 deposit slip in anticipation of Alice wanting to transfer money to him. To generate a deposit slip the bank selects a large, ... more details
