In this paper some results concerning the Cauchy functional equation, that is the functional equation f(x+y) = f(x) + f(y) in complex hermitian Banach *-algebras with an identity element are presented. As an application a generalization of Kurepa's extension of the Jordan-Neumann characterization of pre-Hilbert space is obtained.
