USC RELEASES ONLINE PAYMENT SYSTEM FOR INTERNET The Information Sciences Institute of the University of Southern California's School of Engineering has released for testing and development its version of electronic money--NetCheque. The system combines the Kerberos computer-security technology developed at MIT with distributed authorization and accounting technology developed at the ISI.
