eCache is an anonymous bank operating through interfaces in the Tor network. The bank issues cryptographic certificates, digital bearer certificates, that can be exchanged among the bank's users. The certificates can be bought and sold for real money through the bank. The owners and operators of the bank are unknown, and the bank is said[who?] to operate outside the laws of any country. The name eCache was suggested by Steven Schear to eCache's operators from a prior bearer digital money venture.[1]
