Brazier, F.M.T., Oskamp, A., Prins, J.E.J., Schellekens, M.H.M., Wijngaards, N.J.E.
In: AI & Law Vol: 1-2 No: 12, pp. 137-157, , 2004 , Springer Science+Business Media B.V Software agents that play a role in E-commerce and E-government
applications involving the Internet often contain information about the identity of their human user such as credit cards and bank accounts. This paper discusses whether this is necessary: whether human users and software agents are allowed to be anonymous under the relevant legal regimes and whether an adequate interaction and balance between law and anonymity can be realised from both the perspective of Computer Systems and the perspective of Law.
