Change address question.

May 02, 2011, 01:58:45 AM

From what I understand when change is made it is sent to a new key.
Is there any reason for this other than anonymization?
I'm assuming sending change back to an address in one of the inputs would work fine but I'm curious why the decision was made to send to a new address.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Addresses are trivial to make and it enhances anonymity, basically. As far as I know there isn't another reason.
