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> |
