David Chaum has been making impactful contributions to things like anonymous communication channels, anonymous digital transactions, and privacy protocols since the 1980s. Actually, impactful contributions doesn’t quite do it justice, in fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this man is responsible for unleashing these concepts in the first place.
David wrote a paper in 1981 that opened the door for anonymous communications. This paper perfectly describes how anonymous communications take place today.
Here’s an excerpt from the paper: “A technique based on public key cryptography is presented that allows an electronic mail system to hide who a participant communicates with as well as the content of the communication – in spite of an unsecured underlying telecommunication system. The technique does not require a universally trusted authority. One correspondent can remain anonymous to a second, while allowing the second to respond via an untraceable return address.”
He also developed:
* blind signatures
* secure voting systems
* zero-knowledge arguments.
Visionaries are so because they can “see” and understand what the future might hold or need when most others can’t. The things that David valued so highly over 30 years ago are finally being more widely valued and adopted because more and more people are waking up to the fact that anonymity is something to be valued and it’s a right that everyone should be entitled to.
Oh, don’t worry, David Chaum isn’t done yet. He has also created a project called PrivaTegrity. According to an article on wired.com, PrivaTegrity is “…designed to allow fully secret, anonymous communications that no eavesdropper can crack, whether a hacker or an intelligence agency.” It is also “…meant to be both more secure than existing online anonymity systems like Tor or I2P and also more efficient; he claims is fast enough to work as a smartphone app with no perceptible delay”
According to Chaum, “It’s a way to create a separate online reality.”, “One in which all the various things we now know people like to do online can be done in a lightweight manner under a completely different and new and very attractive privacy and security model.”

Really great video! He has his own project now right? Elxxir?
Has anyone looked into his project?
He's leading a new project now called Elixxir. Didn't know this guy was such a big deal…
Elixxir
THAT'S MY UNCLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its great to see someone highlight the works of this great man. I am just a beginner in learning about him but he is quite the modern day Da Vinci, & that is not intended as a flippant comparison, he is true visionary & I am enjoying learning about him greatly. So thanks for this video & helping us learn.
Thank you Heidi, much love and keep up the great work!
Thanks Heidi. Very intersting video.
Why do humans desire privacy? Because throughout biological history organisms had to compete with each other to survive and breed. And, relatively recently, information has become more important to survival and breeding, therefore, to win they must avoid sharing information.
Why did humans compete to survive? Because of scarcity of local resources and breeding partners.
Why do humans compete to survive presently, when there is a relative abundance of resources and breeding partners? Because the entrenched competitive hierarchies have too much social, cultural and economic mass and momentum to slow down or stop, anytime soon. It will take much longer for those ancient dominance hierarchies to be entirely replaced with cooperative systems. Cooperative systems like those which exists within each organism, at almost every level of organization. Although there are cooperative human systems that exist, they are few and limited. Humans will have to wait for a long time before they evolve such systems at scale, and can freely and openly communicate without the need for privacy, knowing that shared information in a cooperative system benefits all.
Another fantastic video from one of the best in the crypto world!!
I use the BAT browser and your channel doesn't have a green check mark?
I agree with AJ Drew! Love this channel!
My daily tip has been tipped!!
Yes you are still keeping this theme going. It’s great. Happy Earth Day Hun ??????
Good work
for sure i so believe in the right to privacy using blockchain and doing crypto is so important we keep the original vision still there. i know i got into crypto just for that reason, anyways great video again, thanks for information sincerely a loyal follower, JR Of exciting world cryptos!
Oh yea you did it yay. Good one Great This may be the first Crypto Channel that has made a video about his man.. Every one wants to talk about Satoshi Nakamoto and no one knows who he is but I think this is the guy who used that name in order to stay anonymous… I read a magazine article about digital currency in 1995 and he was talking about the privacy issue of it and issues about no physical money in society ..
Heidi, come to the Jersey shore. we'll talk crypto as I gel my hair…lmk when..
oh pleasure change of scenery
What song is the intro?
Please continue to bring to light these heroes
