The donation authority or in short Donau is privacy friendly and free software. It examines the usability by asking a tax authority about their current donation system and obtaining their opinion on the Donau project. Donau is a GNU Taler project. It depends on the code of the GNU Taler environment, but is completely independent of the Taler payment system. +This bachelor thesis describes and implements a theoretical concept of a donation authority system. The donation authority (Donau) is free software with a focus on privacy and anonymity and part of the GNU Taler project. It depends on the code of the GNU Taler environment, but is completely independent of the Taler payment system. An interview with a local tax authority was held to determine the current state of how donations are verified as well as the usability and possible adoption of a system like the Donau. -The Donau environment includes three stakeholder. Donors, charities and of course the tax authority. The centerpiece, the Donau, would be operated by the tax authority itself. The Donau issues donation receipts for the Donor via charity and validates the receipts from the donor. Issuance by the authority prevents possible donation receipt forgeries. The automation of the donation receipt validation process would also allow the donor's various donation receipts to be combined into one. Donation data is often sensitive data. Therefore, in order to protect the donor, the system is designed to collect and store as little data as possible and to anonymize the data where possible. +The Donau is operated by the tax authority and maintains a list of verified non-profit charities. The charities as well as the donors must be able to communicate with each other for the system to work. Upon making a donation to one of the charities the donor receives a so called "Donation receipt" which will be stored locally on the donor's device. Throughout this process neither the charity nor the Donau will optain any identifiable information thus making it anonymous. To make the donations tax deductable the donor needs to submit ther receipts to the Donau. Which in turn will combine the receipts in one final receipt called the "Donation statement". Upon request this will be sent to the donor in form of a QR-Code. This QR-Code can then be sent to the tax authority which verifies its validity and is then able to deduct the amount from the taxes. -results... \end{abstract} diff --git a/doc/thesis/thesis.pdf b/doc/thesis/thesis.pdf Binary files differ.
