+ All transactions in Taler are secured using <a href="bibliography.html">modern
+ cryptography</a> and trust in all parties is
+ minimized. Financial damage is bounded (for
+ customers, merchants and the exchange) even in the
+ case that systems are compromised and private keys
+ are stolen. Databases can be audited for
+ consistency, resulting in either the detection of
+ compromised systems or the demonstration that
+ participants were honest. Actual transaction costs
+ are fractions of a cent.

+
+ <p>
+ {% trans %}
+ The scalable business model for Taler is the operation
+ of the payment service provider, which converts money from
+ traditional payment systems (MasterCard, SEPA, UPI,
+ Visa, Bitcoin, ACH, SWIFT, etc.) to anonymous
+ electronic coins in the same currency. The customer
+ can then redeem the electronic coins at a merchant,
+ who can exchange them for money represented using
+ traditional payment systems at the exchange. The
+ exchange charges fees to facilitate the transactions.
