 Undeniable signature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Undeniable signatures are a form of digital signature invented by David Chaum and Hans van Antwerpen in 1989.
To prevent this we have the second property, a method to prove that a given signature is a forgery.

And Chaum was indisputably the pioneer, the first to take e-cash out of the science fiction realm and turn it into cold mathematical truth.
Chaum renewed his interest in electronic voting in early 2000, when he started to think about how elections in emerging democracies could be internationally validated.
Chaum's latest idea is for a fool-proof voter receipt that assures the voter his ballot was cast corrently without violating his privacy.

It is, Chaum claims, "the first electronic mechanism that ensures both integrity and privacy." Indeed, as far as I can see, Chaum's invention has only one conceivable drawback: It won't be on the market in time to save us on Nov. 2.
Chaum's system, Votegrity, produces a paper trail too -- except Chaum throws cryptography into the mix, and that changes the equation.
For Chaum, who's in the process of rounding up investors and hiring executives for the firm he's starting around Votegrity, such a conflagration would be, perversely, the best news imaginable.

 Numbers That Are Money   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Chaum is generally agreed to be the father of something called "digital cash," which is like regular cash in that it can be spent with privacy but unlike regular cash in that it has no physical presence.
Chaum expressed the situation most powerfully in his seminal article on the subject in the August, 1992, Scientific American: "The choice between keeping information in the hands of individuals or of organizations is being made each time any government or business decides to automate another set of transactions.
In Chaum's system, a bank note is nothing more than a randomly generated number, the validation of which depends on the well-established concept of the "digital signature." This signature has two halves, called keys: a public key, available to everyone, and a private key, which an individual would share with no one.

 2.12: E-Money (That's What I Want)
Chaum's first major papers, published in 1979 when he was a graduate student at the University of California at Berkeley, are indicative of his strong focus in his work: devising cryptographic means of assuring privacy.
Chaum developed a prototype by which smart cards holding a certain amount of verified cash value could be slipped into a gadget affixed to the windshield, and high-speed scanning devices would subtract the tolls as the cars whizzed by.
Chaum is not the only person working this turf: building on his ideas, researchers at Sandia Labs have been working on a scheme that attempts to balance anonymity with law enforcement's need to trace criminal transactions.
