Customer protection

With use of digital signatures and encryption, cyber cash is able to keep transmissions secure for all practical purposes. It can be asserted that cyber cash is free from any danger of hackers intercepting or modifying transmissions between merchant and customer or between merchant and cyber cash. However, since the customer must provide his or her own password, attacks on individual accounts are possible, just as they are in any systems that use passwords for access. This exposure is limited to the systems on which the customer has installed the cyber cash client software- sensitive customer information is not stored on servers from which the customer has made purchases.
