In addition to anonymity for customers, it provides the +novel notion of income transparency, which guarantees that merchants can +reliably receive a payment from an untrusted payer only when their income from +the payment is visible to tax authorities. + +We show the provable security of our protocol, which in addition to the usual +security properties also formally models conservation of funds and income +transparency. + +Lastly, we contribute a novel Byzantine consensus algorithm, which could be +applied to distributed ledgers. |
