As mentioned in the scope section, the optional goal to find and implement a good solution for the withdraw loophole was dropped. This was due to the scope shift and because the analysis of the problem showed that finding a good solution needs more research and is a whole project in itself (see \ref{sec:scope} for more information).\\ Furthermore, \gls{CSBS} could be implemented on other curves. -For example Curve448 \cite{cryptoeprint:2015:625} could be used, as it provides 224 bits of security, wheras \gls{25519} \cite{bern:curve25519} provides about 128 bits of security. +For example Curve448 \cite{cryptoeprint:2015:625} could be used, as it provides 224 bits of security, whereas \gls{25519} \cite{bern:curve25519} provides about 128 bits of security.

Although there was a lot of work, we enjoyed working on such a modern and very interesting topic. Especially the first successful signature verification and the signature scheme performance benchmarks motivated us to push the implementation and integration into Taler forward.\\ -We are happy to provide an implementation of a modern scheme and making it available as free software.
