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> |
