+Request for Comments: 1776                               CyberCash, Inc.
+Category: Informational                                     1 April 1995

+                       The Address is the Message
+
+Status 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.
