+Taler Systems is developing an online payment system called Taler, that could easily fit the requirements of the e-krona project.
-Taler is an open source system based on a wallet and a central exchange. It provides instant one-click payments, can offer payer anonymity with receiver transparency for tax purposes. It is fast and cheap, and can hence also cover micro-payments economically (payments of the order of 1 cents).

+The USPs of Taler are:
\begin{itemize}
\item All operations provide cryptographically secured, with mathematical
proofs for courts and auditors
-\item Customer can remain anonymous, as with cash if desired
+\item Customer payments are privacy preserving, like cash if desired
\item Merchants are identifiable in each payment they receive
\item Payments are in existing currencies
-\item Fraud is mostly eliminated, especially compared to credit cards
-\item Scalable, fast protocol implementation
+\item Payment fraud is eliminated, short of catastrophic failures in cryptographic primitives
+\item Linear scalability
\item Suitable for micro-payments due to very low transaction costs
\item Ease of use (one-click, instant)
-\item Open standard protocol without patents, with free reference implementations
+\item Open standard protocol without patents, with free reference implementation

Taler is intended to run with the following architectural elements.
