Sussex Valley is a company specializing in groundbreaking financial cryptography software and services to the world's financial and e-commerce communities. Computers, advanced cryptographic mathematics, and the Internet combine to make it possible to create unforgeable, virtually theft-proof electronic computer files, called E-Cash™ Digital Depository Receipts™ (DDR's) that faithfully represent money or other valuable, fungible commodities that are safely stored in reserve accounts or other secure locations. E-Cash™ does not take the place of money -- it unforgeably represents beneficial OWNERSHIP of money. By its very nature, E-Cash™ can be transacted over the Internet as easily as cash can be spent in a convenience store, and in amounts as small as one-tenth of a cent, with virtually zero overhead costs.

E-Cash™ by Sussex Valley is a new concept in monetary systems. It combines computerized convenience with security and privacy that improve on paper cash and is an order of magnitude cheaper and more reliable than the book-entry methods of exchange that it will replace. It adds value, certainty, and security to any service involving payment. And its versatility opens up a host of new markets and applications. E-Cash™ is not just a step on the way to tomorrow's payment system technology. It is that technology, and it's here now.

E-Cash™ works with payment system and service providers in all phases of electronic cash transaction systems. Sussex Valley helps you develop and refine the concept, and we see it through every step to final implementation. We're the experts. We're the experts first of all because our technology is unique--and we invented it. But we're also world-class experts in our fields. The Sussex Valleyx team brings together top cryptographers with some of Silicon Pasture's best software and hardware designers. Sussex Valley is young but experienced, innovative but here to stay.
