<h2>NGI TALER: Payments with Informational Self-Determination for the Next Generation Internet
-(Christian Grothoff Professor at the BFH-TI)</h2>

+NGI TALER is a consortium dedicated to launching and promoting the GNU Taler
+payment system in Europe. GNU Taler is a Free Software implementation of a
+self-custody digital cash payment system with strict privacy protections for
+payers and equally strict transparency and accountability for payees. The talk
+gives a brief overview of the technology and the direction of the project.

+Hardware protected confirmation empowers user’s sole control over confirmation
+actions in digital space - even on a compromised devices. It can be applied
+to a wide range of security critical operations such as “authentication”,
+“authentication with linking” (PSD2), “transaction confirmation” (e.g. EMV
+“3DS confirmation”), “shareholder voting”, “medical device steering”, “access
+un-locking”, “electronic signing” and many more. In addition, Protected
+Confirmation is becoming critical for multi-purpose authentication mechanisms
+such as the EUDI wallet and the Swiss EID planned for 2026. Hardware
+protected confirmation was successfully piloted within the UBS e-banking in
+2023.

+Advancements in hardware forensics and hacking pose significant challenges to
+Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). Techniques including side-channel attacks,
+fault injection, and physical manipulation of electronic devices are
+increasingly effective in extracting or inferring secrets safeguarded by
+certified HSMs, albeit often resulting in device destruction. While these
+methods historically demanded costly and specialized tools, they are gradually
+becoming more accessible to a wider audience. This video presents the cat
+and mouse game of making and breaking hardware security.

+Crypto regulation must respect the right to anonymity. The digital euro is a
+problem and not the solution. Cash protects our financial freedom and limits
+on anonymous cash payments endanger it.
