+Taler is
+ \vfill
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item a Free/Libre software \emph{payment system} infrastructure project
+ \item ... with a surrounding software ecosystem
+ \item ... and a company (Taler Systems S.A.) and community that wants to
deploy it
+ as widely as possible.
+ \end{itemize}
+ \vfill
+\noindent
+ However, Taler is
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item \emph{not} a currency
+ \item \emph{not} a long-term store of value
+ \item \emph{not} a network or instance of a system
+ \item \emph{not} decentralized
+% \item \emph{not} based on proof-of-work or proof-of-stake
+ \item combinable with a DLT back-end if requested
+ \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+
+\begin{frame}{Design principles}
+ \framesubtitle{https://taler.net/en/principles.html}
+GNU Taler must ...
+\begin{enumerate}
+ \item {... be implemented as {\bf free software} (but {\em available} under
a commercial license).}
+ \item {... protect the {\bf privacy of buyers}.}
+ \item {... must enable the state to {\bf tax income} and crack down on
+ illegal business activities.}
+ \item {... prevent payment fraud.}
+ \item {... only {\bf disclose the minimal amount of information
+ necessary}.}
+ \item {... be usable.}
+ \item {... be efficient.}
+ \item {... avoid single points of failure.}
+ \item {... foster {\bf competition} in associated services.}

+\begin{itemize}
+\item {\bf Convenient:} pay with one click instantly --– in Euro,
+Dollar, Swiss Franc or Bitcoin
+\item {\bf Friction-free security:} Payments do not require sign-up,
+login or multi-factor authentication
+\item {\bf Privacy-preserving:} payment requires/shares no personal information
+\item {\bf Bank account:} not required
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+
+\begin{frame}{Merchant Impact of Taler}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item {\bf Instant clearance:} one-click transactions and instant clearance at
par
+\item {\bf Easy \& compliant:} GDPR \& PCI-DSS compliance-free and without any
effort
+\item {\bf Major profit increase:} efficient protocol $+$ no fraud $=$
extremely low costs
+\item {\bf 1-click checkout:} without Amazon and without false
+positives in fraud detection

\framesubtitle{\url{https://www.snb.ch/en/mmr/papers/id/working_paper_2021_03}}
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Central bank issues digital coins equivalent to issuing cash \\
+ $\Rightarrow$ monetary policy remains under CB control
+ \item Architecture with consumer accounts at commercial banks \\
+ $\Rightarrow$ no competition for commercial banking (S\&L) \\
+ $\Rightarrow$ CB does not have to manage KYC, customer support
+ \item Withdrawal limits and denomination expiration \\
+ $\Rightarrow$ protects against bank runs and hoarding
+ \item Income transparency and possibility to set fees \\
+ $\Rightarrow$ additional insights into economy and new policy options
+ \item Revocation protocols and loss limitations \\
+ $\Rightarrow$ exit strategy and handles catastrophic security
incidents
+ \item Privacy by cryptographic design not organizational compliance \\
+ $\Rightarrow$ CB cannot be forced to facilitate mass-surveillance

+We use a few well established and tested constructions:
+ \begin{itemize}
+ \item Cryptographic hash function (1989)
+ \item Blind signature (1983)
+ \item Schnorr signature (1989)
+ \item Diffie-Hellman key exchange (1976)
+ \item Cut-and-choose zero-knowledge proof (1985)

+ We say Taler is taxable because:

+ \item Merchant's income is visible from deposits.
+ \item Hash of contract is part of deposit data.
+ \item State can trace income and enforce taxation.

+\item {\tt taler-exchange-secmod-\{cs,eddsa,rsa\}}
+ are the only processes that must have access to the private keys.
+\item The secmod processes should run under a different UID, but share

+\item Communication between secmods and {\tt taler-exchange-httpd} is via

+The exchange needs keys to be available for online signing:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Knowledge of these private keys will allow an adversary to
+ mint digital cash, possibly resulting in financial losses
+% (eventually, this will be detected by the auditor, but only
+% after some financial losses have been irrevocably incurred).
+\item The corresponding public keys are certified using
+ Taler's public key infrastructure (which uses offline-only keys).

+\begin{frame}{Online keys}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The exchange needs $d$ and $w$ to be available for online signing.
+\item The corresponding public keys $W$ and $(e,n)$ are certified using
+ Taler's public key infrastructure (which uses offline-only keys).

+\begin{frame}{Denomination key $(e,n)$ compromise}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item An attacker who learns $d$ can sign an arbitrary number of illicit coins
+ into existence and deposit them.
+\item Auditor and exchange can detect this once the total number of deposits
+ (illicit and legitimate) exceeds the number of legitimate coins the
+ exchange created.
+\item At this point, $(e,n)$ is {\em revoked}. Users of {\em unspent}
+ legitimate coins reveal $b$ from their withdrawal operation and
+ obtain a {\em refund}.
+\item The financial loss of the exchange is {\em bounded} by the number of
+ legitimate coins signed with $d$.
+\item[$\Rightarrow$] Taler frequently rotates denomination signing keys and
+ deletes $d$ after the signing period of the respective key expires.

+\end{center}
+\end{frame}
+
+
+\begin{frame}{Online signing key $W$ compromise}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item An attacker who learns $w$ can sign deposit confirmations.
+\item Attacker sets up two (or more) merchants and customer(s) which
double-spend
+ legitimate coins at both merchants.
+\item The merchants only deposit each coin once at the exchange and get paid
once.
+\item The attacker then uses $w$ to fake deposit confirmations for the
double-spent
+ transactions.
+\item The attacker uses the faked deposit confirmations to complain to the
auditor
+ that the exchange did not honor the (faked) deposit confirmations.
+\end{itemize}
+The auditor can then detect the double-spending, but cannot tell who is to
blame,
+and (likely) would presume a malicious exchange, forcing it to pay both
merchants.
+\end{frame}
+
+
+\begin{frame}{Detecting online signing key $W$ compromise}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Merchants are required to {\em probabilistically} report
+ signed deposit confirmations to the auditor.
+\item Auditor can thus detect exchanges not reporting signed
+ deposit confirmations.
+\item[$\Rightarrow$] Exchange can rekey if illicit key use is detected,
+ then only has to honor deposit confirmations it already provided
+ to the auditor {\em and} those without proof of double-spending
+ {\em and} those merchants reported to the auditor.
+\item[$\Rightarrow$] Merchants that do not participate in reporting
+ to the auditor risk their deposit permissions being voided in
+ cases of an exchange's private key being compromised.
+\end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+
+\begin{frame}{Database}
+The exchange needs the database to detect double spending.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Loss of the database will allow technically skilled people
+ to double-spend their digital cash, possibly resulting in
+ significant financial losses.
+\item The database contains total amounts customers withdrew and
+ merchants received, so sensitive private banking data. It
+ must thus not become public.
+\item The auditor must have a (current) copy. Asynchronous replication
+ should be sufficient. This copy can also serve as an
+ additional (off-site?) backup.
+\end{itemize}
+\begin{center}
+ The database can also be replaced with a DLT if customer
+ requires it.

+\begin{enumerate}
+\item {\bf Frictionless one click}, cash-like digital payments \&
+instant
+confirmation for all fiat- and crypto-currencies and for all users,
+unbanked, young and old.
+\item With {\bf income-transparency on the recipient side} is
+crime-preventing \& Taler coins are as secure as cash without
+counterfeits. No ID theft.
+\item {\bf Guaranteed privacy} for spender \& data minimization: payment
+requires/shares no personal information.
+\item {\bf No bank account needed}
+\item Highly efficient in power, processing \& storage, extremely low
+cost \& {\bf highly scalable} to 100’000 transactions/sec.
+\item Economically viable (sub-cent) instant {\bf micro-transactions} for
+e-commerce, Internet of Things, metaverse, machine2machine, $\ldots$

+\framesubtitle{Discussion Proposal}
+{\small
+With an SBB machine, we could:
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Pay for SBB tickets with GNU Taler
+\item[$\Rightarrow$] SBB would receive money in regular bank account
+\item[$\Rightarrow$] Lower costs than with CC / physical cash
+\item[$\Rightarrow$] Customers would pay with privacy
+\item Convert physical cash to digital cash
+\item[$\Rightarrow$] SBB would need Taler ``reserve'' to withdraw from
+\item[$\Rightarrow$] Regulatory requirements (SMS, withdraw limits)
+\item[$\Rightarrow$] SBB would likely want to charge service fees
+\end{itemize}
+Steps:
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item SBB provides BFH with access \& documentation
+\item BFH researchers and students would do integration
+\item Pilot machine could likely be set up around here
+\item SBB would have final decision on any rollout
