I guess it makes sense when the anonymous identity shows up first on a trivial google search results.
Actually there is such a thing as "negative income tax" (I though it was mentioned in the Knesset too, hmmm...., actually the Knesset isn't exactly a bastion of logical thinking :^) - but seriously - look for this term in Wikipedia and you'll see that Milton Friedman was also playing with the idea. Googling about "anonymous signature" actually comes up with papers with the first link (http://eprint.iacr.org/2005/407.pdf) describing this as "maintaining the anonymity of the signature owner from eavesdroppers". I'm not sure whether this is what Peter was referring to, I lost track of the conversation. You learn something new every day... --Amos
