It is not suggested that the merchant - in question was not in compliance with PCI DSS security audit procedures.<br> - With Taler, merchants never handle sensitive personal credit data, and - thus neither customers, exchanges nor governments would even have standing to - sue merchants in court.

This is unlikely to be the last vulnerability found in - account-based payment systems.<br> - In Taler, customers do not have accounts with usernames, passwords - or associated e-mail addresses. Instead, Taler uses reserves which - are represented by a private key on the owner's computer. Users - create a reserve by depositing currency at a Taler exchange, and can then - withdraw digital coins from that reserve using the respective private - key. There is no limit on the number of reserves a user can have, and - even hacking the Taler exchange would not provide an adversary with access to - user's reserves (as the Taler exchange does not have the private keys). - Stealing in Taler requires breaking into each customer's computer to - extract the reserve keys or the coins from the digital wallet. - </p> - <p><a class="btn btn-info" href="http://yasserali.com/hacking-paypal-accounts-with-one-click/" role="button">Source</a></p> - </div> - <div class="col-lg-12"> - <h2>13-11-2014: Visa and MasterCard's to move from passwords to biometrics</h2> - <p>Visa and MasterCard are planning to "simplify hated verification - systems" by moving from passwords to security codes on mobiles - and biometrics. Continuing their flawed insistence on verifying identity, - Visa and MasterCard will thus build a very personal picture of their - customers, from shopping habbits down to their cardiac rhythm.<br> - Taler does not require a customer's identity to verify a payment, as the - payment system cryptographically verifies the coins. Thus, Taler does - not have to intrude into any personal detail of a citizen's life, and - certainly not their private medical data. - </p> - <p><a class="btn btn-info" href="http://www.theguardian.com/money/2014/nov/13/mastercard-visa-kill-off-verification-systems" role="button">Source</a></p> - </div> - <div class="col-lg-12"> - <h2>15-9-2013: NSA follows the Money</h2> - <p>Despite the EU allowing the NSA access to financial transaction data to - track terrorists and organized crime, the NSA saw it necessary to - target international payment processors including SWIFT and Visa. - As terrorism and organized crime are covered by legal means, industrial - espionage to improve the US economy is the only remaining US national - interest within the NSA's mandate that would explain this illegal activity.<br> - With Taler, exchanges will only learn the value of a merchant's transactions, - not who paid or for what (governments may learn what was sold). Thus, - the Taler exchange is a significantly less interesting target for industrial - espionage. - </p> - <p><a class="btn btn-info" href="http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/spiegel-exclusive-nsa-spies-on-international-bank-transactions-a-922276.html" role="button">Source</a></p> - </div> - </div> - <!--# include file="common/footer.inc" --> - </div> <!-- /container --> - </body> -</html> |
