Taler requires the frontend to facilitate two + JSON-based interactions between the wallet and the `backend`, and + one of those is trivial. + + The `backend` is a standalone C application intended to implement all + the cryptographic routines required to interact with the Taler wallet + and a Taler exchange. |
