Network Working Group                                         S. CrockerRequest for Comments: 1776                               CyberCash, Inc.Category: Informational                                     1 April 1995The Address is the MessageStatus of this Memo   This memo provides information for the Internet community.  This memo   does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.  Distribution of   this memo is unlimited.Discussion   Declaring that the address is the message, the IPng WG has selected a   packet format which includes 1696 bytes of address space.  This   length is a multiple of 53 and is completely compatible with ATM   architecture.  Observing that it's not what you know but who you   know, the IPng focused on choosing an addressing scheme that makes it   possible to talk to everyone while dispensing with the irrelevant   overhead of actually having to say anything.   Security experts hailed this as a major breakthrough.  With no   content left in the packets, all questions of confidentiality and   integrity are moot.  Intelligence and law enforcement agencies   immediately refocused their efforts to detect who's talking to whom,   and are silently thankful they can avoid divisive public debate about   key escrow, export control and related matters.   Although the IPng WG declared there should be more than enough   address space for everyone, service providers immediately began vying   for reserved portions of the address space.Security Considerations   Security issues are not discussed in this memo.Crocker                                                         [Page 1]
