Amex Commerce
The big guns are finally trundling online. American Express brags that it was the first credit card company to complete a transaction using SET (the new credit card security protocol). But the FAQs on e-commerce, security, electronic wallets, and digital certificates are worth a visit.

CyberCash
CyberCash was one of the pioneers in the field of electronic-cash (a.k.a. e-cash). The highlight here is the CyberCash wallet: Download the software, fill up the virtual penny purse with CyberCoins, and then start spending away at one of the approved virtual merchants. While you're here, read up on CyberCash's support for SET, the new secure credit card technology.

Digicash
Along with the rest of the industry, Digicash subsequently shifted its focus to smart cards. Site highlights: The tutorials on digital signatures and smart cards, plus an almost-comprehensible explanation of the arithmetic behind encryption schemes.

Digital Cash and Monetary Freedom
A big-picture overview of digital cash, how it differs from "mere encrypted credit card schemes" and What It All Means to You. Granted, DCMF is a heavy slog: It's basically one long all-text rant, there are no offsite links, and (worst of all) the paper is more than two years old. But it still provides a handy introduction to the issues.
