Currently, the GNU Taler payment system permits the +withdrawal of digital cash using different means of payment. However, GNU Taler currently lacks the possibility using cashless payment means such as credit cards to withdraw digital cash. To address this gap, this thesis introduces a novel component, called +cashless2ecash (C2EC), which establishes a reliable connection between the Taler ecosystem and payment service provider’s terminals. The reference implementation establishes the process between the payment service provider Wallee and the GNU Taler +Exchange by implementing the new Terminals API in C2EC. The implemented process +guarantees the finality of the transaction to the GNU Taler Exchange and the terminal +operator. The finality enables the withdrawal of digital cash using GNU Taler without the use of cash. The liability for the transaction is borne by the payment service +provider, which assumes the guarantees for the GNU Taler Exchange. +</p> + +<h3>Introduction video</h3> +<p> + <video id="video" poster="/videos/cashless2ecash-movie.png" autobuffer="" height="360" width="640" + controls="controls"> + <source src="/videos/cashless2ecash-movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" \> + </video> +</p> + +<h3>Supplemental material</h3> +<p> +<ul> + <li><a href="https://docs.taler.net/core/api-terminal.html">Terminal API</a></li> + <li><a href="/pdf/cashless2ecash-book.pdf" target="_blank">One pager</a></li> + <li><a href="/pdf/cashless2ecash-poster.pdf" target="_blank">Defense poster</a></li> + <li><a href="/papers/cashless2ecash.pdf" target="_blank">Bachelor's thesis</a></li> +</ul> +</p> + + +{% endblock body_content %} diff --git a/template/news/2024-09.html.j2 b/template/news/2024-09.html.j2 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..915205b9 --- /dev/null +++ b/template/news/2024-09.html.j2 @@ -0,0 +1,125 @@ +{% extends "common/news.j2" %} +{% block body_content %} +<h1>Privacy-preserving Subscriptions, Discounts and Tax Deductable Donations</h1> + +<p> + Two independent bachelor theses bring new privacy-focused features to GNU Taler. + Christian Blättler designed and implemented token-based subscriptions and discounts in Taler, while Lukas Matyja + and Johannes Casaburi's thesis introduces the Donau system, a new type of a donation authority system. +</P> + +<h2>Privacy-preserving Subscriptions and Discounts</h2> + +<p> + Christian Blättler finished his <a href="/papers/subscription-discounts-thesis.pdf">bachelor thesis</a> about + designing and implementing token-based subscriptions and discounts in Taler. +</p> + +<h3>Introduction video</h3> +<p> + <video id="video" poster="/videos/subscription-discounts-movie.jpg" autobuffer="" height="360" width="640" + controls="controls"> + <source src="/videos/subscription-discounts-movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" \> + </video> +</p> + +<h3>Abstract</h3> +<p> + Subscription-based services are more popular than ever, with a significant portion of digital goods, such as newspaper + articles, music, movies, and TV shows, sold through this business model. These services are generally tied to a user + account. As a result, the use of a subscription leaves a data trail. Service providers can use collected usage data to + build a personality profile that can reveal information about political views, sexual orientation, health + complications, or other sensitive topics. +</p> +<p> + This information, in the wrong hands, can have critical implications, especially in regions with repressive regimes. + Ideally, a solution to this problem also addresses the challenge of subscribers sharing their credentials with groups + of people online. +</p> +<p> + This thesis presents a solution for account-less and privacy-preserving subscriptions based on GNU Taler. The solution + is convenient for customers, affordable for merchants, and resistant to abusive sharing of subscriptions. + Subscriptions are valid during a configured timeframe, while usage during that timeframe is unlimited. The flexible + design of the solution allows it to be used for a wide array of use cases beyond subscriptions, such as discounts, + loyalty stamps, multi-entry event ticketing, membership programs, deposit systems, and privacy-preserving gifts.

The central entity in the design is the donation authority +(Donau) which was implemented in free software in the context of the +GNU Taler project. While implemented primarily for GNU Taler, the +system could in principle work with other payment systems. +</p> +<p> +Providing evidence of charitable donations for tax deductions often requires +sensitive personal information, raising privacy concerns. +Donors may wish to anonymize receipts while still being able to make +legitimate donations to recognized charities. On the other side tax authorities +may wish to better prevent donation fraud with verifiable signatures. +Deductions for unrecognized charities or failure to deduct valid foreign +donations also occur. A system allowing anonymous yet verifiable donation +receipts would address these issues. The Donau would be operated by a tax +authority. The Donau backend +implements a REST API used primarily by charities and donors. It +maintains a list of recognized charities, enabling tax authorities to +audit the total amount of donation receipts each charity is +issuing. Upon making a donation to one of the charities the donor +receives a <i>donation receipt</i> which will be stored locally on +the donor’s device. Throughout this process neither the charity nor +the Donau obtains any identifiable information about the donor, +thus enabling anonymous donations. To simplify the verification for +the tax authority, the donor needs to submit their donation receipts +to the Donau at the end of the year. At that time, the Donau can +combine the individual donation receipts in one final annual +<i>donation statement</i>. Upon request of the tax authority, the +donor can provide this donation statement to the tax authority which +can check its validity and can then approve the tax deduction. +</p> + +<h3>Supplemental material</h3> +<p> +<ul> + <li><a href="https://docs.taler.net/core/api-donau.html">Donau API</a></li> + <li><a href="/pdf/donau-booklet.pdf" target="_blank">One pager</a></li> + <li><a href="/pdf/donau-poster.pdf" target="_blank">Donau poster</a></li> + <li><a href="/papers/donau-thesis.pdf" target="_blank">Bachelor's thesis</a></li> +</ul> +</p> +{% endblock body_content %} diff --git a/template/news/2024-11.html.j2 b/template/news/2024-11.html.j2 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..cc4fc54b --- /dev/null +++ b/template/news/2024-11.html.j2 @@ -0,0 +1,51 @@ +{% extends "common/news.j2" %} +{% block body_content %} +<h1>2024-6: GNU Taler v0.11 released</h1> +<p> +We are happy to announce the release of GNU Taler v0.11. +</p> +<p> +We have addressed over 70 individual issues, our bug tracker +has the <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/changelog_page.php?version_id=415">full list</a>. +Notable changes include: +</p> +<ul> +<li>NEW: Support for Instant SEPA in libeufin-nexus</li> +<li>NEW: Support for the German ZKA Dialect of EBICS in libeufin-nexus</li> +<li>NEW: Public GET endpoint for Point-of-Sale in merchant (preliminary implementation)</li> +<li>NEW: Wallets now show more context to the user when using pay template QR codes or URIs</li> +<li>Various minor bugfixes, user experience and documentation improvements</li> +</ul> +<p> +Our work is co-funded by the European Commissions and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and +Innovation (SERI) as part of the <a href="https://taler.net/en/ngi-taler.html">NGI TALER</a> project. +</p> + +<h4>Download links</h4> +<p> +The wallet has its own download site <a +href="https://wallet.taler.net/">here</a>.

The primary goal, is to provide assurances against insider threats, compromised systems or data corruption due to technical failures. +</p> +<p> +In the context of this thesis, the GNU Taler auditor was improved, and now works in real-time, thus providing operators and regulators with more timely insights into the payment system. This was achieved by changing the existing logic, which would previously generate periodic JSON reports, to a database-centric approach. By implementing a REST API service for the newly generated database tables, the newly created single page application is able to visualize audit data in real-time on its dashboards. +</p> +<p> +To achieve those changes, the six GNU Taler auditor helper programs, each responsible for analyzing different parts of a GNU Taler exchange, were adapted. The existing report generating logic was analyzed and the database was extended with tables to store the various findings generated by the auditor. This replaces the existing periodic report generating logic. +</p> +<p> +The new tables contain distinct aspects of GNU Taler that are relevant to the auditing process, such as failures, delays in processing, active operations, or simply the system state with the amounts of currency in circulation or the total amount of the various payment fees earned by the exchange. For each of the new tables, new REST API endpoints were designed, documented and implemented. +</p> +<p> +This enabled the development of a new auditor frontend, the single page application for displaying the data in an easy, understandable and digestable manner. Necessary access control precautions were taken into consideration and implemented. +</p> +<p> +To foster sustainable development practices, the auditors unit tests were also adapted and changed. Due to the database-centric approach, the unit tests now not only need tests for the main auditing logic, but also tests for the functionality of the REST API. Each test case begins by running the auditor helpers, which insert various reports into the database. After a fault injection, the tests then query the database via the REST API and then check that the correct findings are returned by the REST API. +</p> +<h2>Links</h2> +<ul> +<li><a href="/papers/zwahc4-riesn1.pdf">Thesis PDF</a></li> +<li><a href="/presentations/zwahc4-riesn1_poster.pdf">Poster PDF</a></li> +<li><a href="/presentations/zwahc4-riesn1_book.pdf">Book PDF</a></li> +<li><a href="/presentations/zwahc4-riesn1_presentation.pdf">Presentation PDF</a></li> +<li><a href="https://git.taler.net/exchange.git/">Exchange Git</a></li> +<li><a href="https://git.taler.net/wallet-core.git/">Wallet-core Git</a></li> +</ul> +{% endblock body_content %} diff --git a/template/press.html.j2 b/template/press.html.j2 index c3971fc2..3c8a0f60 100644 --- a/template/press.html.j2 +++ b/template/press.html.j2 @@ -5,6 +5,9 @@ <h1>{{ _("GNU Taler in the Press")}}</h1> <h2>{{ _("2024")}}</h2> <ul> + <li><a href="https://www.srf.ch/news/schweiz/lokalwaehrung-der-zukunft-app-statt-bon-basler-alternativwaehrung-wird-digital">App statt Bon: Basler Alternativwährung wird digital</a></li> + <li><a href="https://perspective-daily.de/article/3163-keine-angst-vor-dem-digitalen-euro-so-koennte-er-aussehen/YzchT4j5">Keine Angst vor dem digitalen Euro!
