patent ********!

["transactions in which a trusted intermediary securely processes payments over a communications system such as the Internet. The use of a trusted intermediary ensures that one party will not have to disclose sensitive information, such as a credit card number or bank account number, to the other party to the transaction."]

that's a pure bussiness patent, with nothing to back it up in 1991.
It's the same type like one click shopping patent.
The system is creating all kinds of parasites like Eolas that consider themselves "inventors".
