+<h1>2026-07: Taler lecture at Cedarcrypt 2026</h1>
+<p> <small>by Özgür Kesim</small> </p>
+<p>
+ Özgür Kesim from the GNU Taler team will give a lecture about Taler,
+ the protocol suite, at <a href="https://cedarcrypt.org/#program">Cedarcrypt 2026</a>,
+ a new applied cryptography summer school and conference,
+ July 13-16 in Paphos, Cyprus.
+</p>
+<p>The lecture is titled <em>The Taler Protocol Suite for Digital Payments</em>,
+ and has the following abstract:
+</p>
+<p>
+ <em>
+ The Taler protocol suite provides online digital payments
+ that preserve buyer anonymity while guaranteeing seller taxability and regulatory compliance.
+ This lecture walks through the essential protocol flows
+ — coin withdrawal, purchase, deposit, and refresh —
+ and standard cryptographic building blocks that make them work:
+ blind signatures (RSA and Schnorr), hash functions, HKDFs,
+ zero-knowledge cut-and-choose proofs, EC signature schemes and ECDH used in unusual ways,
+ up to recent work on making Taler post-quantum ready.
+ It is both an introduction to Taler and
+ a worked example of how cryptographic primitives compose
+ to solve real privacy challenges in digital payment.
+ </em>
+</p>
