+<h1>2021-11: &quot;Understanding and designing technologies for everyday financial collaboration&quot; published</h1>
+<p>
+We are happy to announce that Belén finished her PhD thesis
+on&quot;Understanding and designing technologies for everyday financial
+collaboration&quot; which contains many inspirational ideas for future
+payment systems like GNU Taler:
+</p>
+<p>
+Perhaps enticed by the promise of reduced marginal costs per customer and other
+“operational efficiencies”, the financial industry seems to take for granted that
+introducing technology into their services delivers convenience and makes it easier
+for people to manage their money. The overwhelmingly positive discourse that
+surrounds financial technologies portrays them as the inevitable next step in the
+evolution of money, and as driving consumer empowerment by reducing costs and
+improving quality of service. Research, however, has linked those very same
+technologies to new and existing forms of financial exclusion. This raises the
+question of how we can design financial technologies that promote access and
+fairness.
+</p>
+<p>
+In this thesis, I take on this question by casting a critical lens over the design of
+financial technologies through experiences of financial difficulty and financial third
+party access. I conducted qualitative studies with a team inside the banking industry
+tasked with servicing customers deemed “vulnerable”; and with a group of people
+who live under the “double trouble” (Topor et al., 2016) of mental illness and
+financial difficulty. The latter trialled a new financial third party access digital service
+for 3 months. These varied perspectives on financial difficulty and third party access
+reveal the unintended consequences of introducing technology into our interactions
+with money, and the theories and assumptions concealed in the design of existing
+financial technologies.
+</p>
+<p>
+Based on the insights of these studies, and a synthesis of the literature on the
+nature of money, this thesis contributes alternative paradigms that may help us
+design financial technologies differently. Such technologies would reflect an
+understanding of money as a social relation, and of our finances as a collaborative
+endeavour. Rather than focusing on efficiency, resource optimisation and asset
+protection, they would encourage flexibility, complementarity, reflection,
+appropriation, positive forms of security, collaboration and participation. By
+designing financial technologies under different theoretical premises and with
+different priorities, we may promote access, fairness and democratic oversight in
+financial service provision, particularly for those experiencing financial difficulty.

+<h1>2022-02: Pubblichiamo &quot;Come una banca centrale dovrebbe emettere una moneta digitale&quot;</h1>
+<p>
+Siamo lieti di annunciare la pubblicazione del nostro articolo su
+&quot;Come emettere una moneta digitale di banca centrale&quot;
+che è un lavoro congiunto con la <a href="https://snb.ch/">Banque nationale suisse</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+Con l'emergere di Bitcoin e delle criptovalute stabili (per es. Diem,
+già nota come Libra) recentemente proposte dai colossi del web, le
+banche centrali affrontano una crescente concorrenza da parte di
+operatori privati che offrono la propria alternativa digitale al
+contante fisico. Non trattiamo qui la questione normativa se una banca
+centrale debba emettere o meno una moneta digitale. Contribuiamo invece
+all'attuale dibattito di ricerca spiegando in che modo una banca centrale
+potrebbe farlo, se lo volesse. Proponiamo un sistema basato su token
+senza tecnologia di registro distribuito, e mostriamo che le monete
+elettroniche emesse in passato, basate solo su software, possono essere
+migliorate per tutelare la privacy nelle transazioni, soddisfare i
+requisiti normativi in modo efficace e offrire un livello di protezione
+resistente ai computer quantistici contro il rischio sistemico per
+la privacy. Né la politica monetaria né la stabilità del sistema
+finanziario sarebbero realmente interessate dal sistema che proponiamo,
+dal momento che una moneta emessa in questo modo replicherebbe il contante
+fisico anziché i depositi bancari.

+<h1>2022-2: Adding Schnorr's Blind Signatures to Taler</h1>
+<p>
+Gian Demarmels and Lucien Heuzeveldt have finished their
+<a href="/papers/cs-thesis.pdf">Bachelor's thesis</a>
+which adds a second blind signature scheme to GNU Taler.
+</p>
+<h2>Introduction video</h2>
+<p>
+ <video id="video" poster="/images/logo-2021.svg" autobuffer="" height="360" width="640" controls="controls">

+</p>
+<h2>Abstract</h2>
+<p>
+The goal of this thesis is to improve Taler’s performance and provide cipher agility by
+adding support for Schnorr’s blind signatures. To achieve this goal, the current state in
+research for Schnorr signatures needs to be analyzed. After choosing a signature scheme,
+it has to be integrated into the Taler protocols. Besides implementing the redesigned
+protocols in Taler, an implementation of the cryptographic routines is needed.
+The paper <a href="https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/877.pdf">”Blind Schnorr
+Signatures and Signed ElGamal Encryption in the Algebraic Group
+Model”</a> from 2019 (updated in 2021) introducing Clause Blind Schnorr Signatures
+is used as theoretical basis for our improvements. The paper explains why simple Blind
+Schnorr Signatures are broken and how the Clause Schnorr Blind Signature scheme is secured
+against this attack.
+</p>
+<p>
+Compared to the currently used RSA Blind Signatures, the new scheme has an additional
+request, two blinding factors instead of one and many calculations are done twice to
+prevent attacks.
+</p>
+<p>
+The Taler protocols were redesigned to support the Clause Blind Schnorr Signature scheme,
+including slight alterations to ensure abort-idempotency, and then further specified.
+Before starting with the implementation of the redesigned protocols, the cryptographic
+routines for Clause Blind Schnorr Signatures were implemented as part of the thesis.
+All of the implemented code is tested and benchmarks are added for the cryptographic
+routines.
+</p>
+<p>
+Multiple results were achieved during this thesis: The redesigned protocols Taler
+protocols with support for Clause Blind Schnorr Signatures, the implementation of the
+cryptographic routines, the implementation of Talers core protocols and a detailed comparison
+between RSA Blind Signatures and Clause Blind Schnorr Signatures. Overall, the Clause
+Blind Schnorr Signatures are significantly faster, require less disk space, and bandwidth
+and provide cipher agility for Taler.

+<h1>2022-6: &quot;GNU Taler Scalability: Measuring and Improving the Performance of GNU Taler on Grid’5000&quot;</h1>
+
+<h2>Background</h2>
+<p>
+Anonymity loves company. Hence, to provide the best
+possible anonymity to GNU Taler users, the scalability of
+individual installations of a Taler payment service matters.
+While our design scales nicely on paper,
+<a href="https://www.ngi.eu/ngi-projects/fed4fire/">NGI Fed4Fire+</a>
+enabled us to evaluate the transaction rates that could be achieved
+with the actual implementation. Experiments were conducted by Marco Boss for
+his Bachelor's thesis at the <a href="https://www.bfh.ch/">Bern
+University of Applied Sciences</a> to assess bottlenecks and suggest
+avenues for further improvement.
+</p>
+<h2>Introduction video</h2>
+<p>
+ <video id="video" poster="/images/logo-2021.svg" autobuffer="" height="360" width="640" controls="controls">
+ <source src="/videos/mboss2022video.mp4" type="video/mp4" \>
+ </video>
+</p>
+<h2>Abstract</h2>
+<p>
+This thesis is on the GNU Taler scalability experiments conducted
+on <a href="https://www.grid5000.fr/">Grid’5000</a> in the first
+half of 2022, which was preceded by preparations carried out in the second half of 2021
+supported by the Next Generation Internet initiative’s
+<a href="https://www.ngi.eu/ngi-projects/fed4fire/">NGI Fed4Fire+</a> program.
+<br>
+The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the scalability of GNU Taler in a real-world
+scenario. That is, moving away from the loopback system to a distributed network and identifying
+improvement opportunities therein to analyze and improve performance. While the
+basic framework was already known from the previous study, this work focuses on extending
+the framework and making further improvements to GNU Taler. This includes, among
+other things, the horizontal distribution of the PostgreSQL database.
+<br>
+We identified and fixed several bottlenecks in the GNU Taler software. We parallelized the
+execution of the cryptographic frontend, leaving the PostgreSQL database as the natural bottleneck.
+Here, we optimized queries and modified the schema to enable table partitioning.
+The scalability demonstrated in our experiments shows that Taler is very capable of processing
+enough transactions per second to be considered an acceptable payment system.
+Throughout this work, we were able to increase the performance of Taler by a factor of 95,
+from about 300 to 28.5k transactions per second, showing that Central Bank Digital Currencies
+based on Taler would require only a few exchanges per continent.

+<h1>2022-6: &quot;A digital euro and the future of cash&quot;</h1>
+
+<h2>Background</h2>
+<p>
+The <a href="https://www.oenb.at/">Central Bank of Austria</a> has
+published a report in the context of a workshop
+<a href="https://www.oenb.at/Termine/2022/2022-06-21-workshop-euroat20.html">celebrating 20 years of
+Euro-denominated cash</a>. The report discusses the future of cash,
+including account- and blockchain-based designs, as well as
+<a href="https://taler.net/">GNU Taler</a>.
+</p>
+<h2>Abstract</h2>
+<p>
+What is the discussion about a digital euro – and, more generally, digital
+central bank currencies – all about? We are focusing here on the future of
+cash. For strategic reasons, central banks are seeking to provide a credible
+and viable public anchor for digital money given that the future might be
+shaped more strongly by new private issuers of money. The technological
+structures and business model-driven incentives of the new players, which are
+associated with the internet economy and thrive on network effects, might lead
+to a concentration of significant market power in payments. Ultimately, this
+might even result in a fragmented monetary system and jeopardize universal
+access to public money. From a central bank’s perspective, the crucial
+question is therefore not so much about replacing cash with new payment
+technologies but about finding ways to ensure that the monetary system will
+continue to work in the public interest in a digital future. Cash will, and
+should, play a role also in a future monetary system. By creating a digital
+euro, central banks in the euro area aim to adapt cash in such a way that it
+meets the needs of the digital age.

+<h1>2022-9: &quot;Zero-Knowledge Age Restriction for GNU Taler&quot;</h1>
+
+<h2>Abstract</h2>
+<p>
+ We propose a design for a privacy-friendly method of age restriction in
+ e-commerce that is aligned with the principle of subsidiarity. The design
+ is presented as an extension of a privacy-friendly payment protocol with a
+ zero-knowledge scheme that cryprographically augments coins for this purpose.
+ Our scheme enables buyers to prove to be of sufficient age for a particular
+ transaction without disclosing it. Our modification preserves the privacy and
+ security properties of the payment system such as the anonymity of minors as
+ buyers as well as unlinkability of transactions. We show how our scheme can be
+ instantiated with ECDSA as well with a variant of EdDSA, respectively, and how
+ it can be integrated with the GNU Taler payment system. We provide formal
+ proofs and implementation of our proposal. Key performance measurements for
+ various CPU architectures and implementations are presented.

+</p>
+<p>
+Modern buyers enjoy the convenience of digital payments, but not all points of
+sale always have an Internet connection. Trusting the buyer’s device to
+honestly report that a payment was definitively made puts merchant’s revenue
+at risk. We present an inexpensive and usable solution for merchants to verify
+that a buyer correctly completed a payment even when the point of sale is
+offline.

+<h1>New EU project NGI TALER will bring private and secure online payments to the Eurozone</h1>
+<p>
+We are excited to announce the creation of a European project December 1st 2023, which
+will run for the next 36 months. This Next Generation Internet pilot named "NGI TALER" is
+operated by a consortium of 11 partners from 8 European countries with the mandate to roll
+out an innovative electronic payment system for the greater benefit of European citizens,
+merchants, and banks. This payment system is different from current online payment
+methods, like credit cards or bank transfers, in that it offers privacy for the buyer:
+neither merchants nor banks can trace or link the payments. It is also a no-risk payment
+option for the merchant as there is no equivalent of fake or stolen credit cards, as
+payments are cleared and confirmed instantly. The payment system is socially, ecologically
+and fiscally responsible: it is not a new currency, there is no energy-consuming
+proof-of-work or proof-of-stake method and clearing is processed much faster than payments
+by credit cards. NGI TALER enforces transparency on the merchants so that states ensure
+that businesses can be held accountable for their income and pay their taxes.
+</p>
+<p>
+NGI TALER is funded as a pilot under the Next Generation Internet (NGI) initiative within
+the European Commission's Horizon Europe research funding program. This project is based
+on the free software GNU Taler which has been developed by the GNU community and Taler
+Systems S.A., and which has received wide praise from financial experts including experts
+from several central banks - including the Swiss National Bank (SNB). The goal is to make
+GNU Taler available as payment system via two European banks - GLS Bank (Germany) and
+MagNet Bank (Hungary). NGI TALER's ambition is to reach the European market during the
+project period and have the payment mechanism accepted and widely adopted by the end of
+the project.
+</p>
+<p>
+Under the hood, GNU Taler deploys state-of-the-art cryptography to achieve these features.
+The initial investment into the required infrastructure is low and the payment mechanism
+operates more cost efficiently than existing payment solutions, with lower transaction
+fees - a benefit that will be shared by consumers and merchants. This makes even
+micro-payments possible, creating an interesting and privacy preserving alternative to
+subscription- or advertisement-based revenue for newspapers and other publishers.
+</p>
+<p>
+NGI TALER is coordinated by the Coding Theory and Cryptology group at Eindhoven University
+of Technology and has 10 more partners:
+<ul>
+ <li>Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH),</li>
+ <li>small for-profit (Code Blau GmbH, Taler Systems S.A., VisualVest),</li>
+ <li>non-profit structures (petites singularités, E-Seniors Association),</li>
+ <li>cooperative banks (GLS Bank, MagNet Bank),</li>
+ <li>a philanthropic organization (Stichting NLnet) and</li>
+ <li>a grassroots movement (Homo Digitalis).</li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+<p>
+For more information see <a href="https://www.taler.net/en/ngi-taler.html">the project's webpage at https://www.taler.net/en/ngi-taler.html</a>

+<h1>GNU libmicrohttpd 1.0 released</h1>
+<p>
+We are glad to announce the release of GNU libmicrohttpd v1.0, and
+future plans for the library.
+</p>
+<h2>About GNU libmicrohttpd</h2>
+<p>
+GNU libmicrohttpd is a small C library that makes it easy to run an
+HTTP server as part of another application. GNU libmicrohttpd is free
+software and an official GNU package.
+</p>
+<p>
+Key features that distinguish
+GNU libmicrohttpd from other projects are:
+<ul>
+<li>C library: fast and small</li>
+<li>API is expressive and fully reentrant</li>
+<li>Implementation is HTTP 1.1 compliant</li>
+<li>HTTP server can listen on multiple ports</li>
+<li>Various threading modes</li>
+<li>Three different sockets polling modes</li>
+<li>Broad platform support</li>
+<li>Support for IPv4 and IPv6</li>
+<li>Support for incremental processing of POST data</li>
+<li>Support for basic and digest authentication</li>
+<li>Support for TLS (requires libgnutls)</li>
+</ul>
+<p>
+Do not use GNU libmicrohttpd if you are looking for a standalone HTTP
+server, there are many other projects out there that provide that kind
+of functionality already. However, if you want to be able to serve
+HTTP requests from within your C or C++ application, check it out!
+</p>
+<p>
+GNU libmicrohttpd has been primarily developed by the GNU maintainers
+Evgeny Grin and Christian Grothoff over the last 16 years with the
+help of a large community contributing features, bug reports and bug
+fixes. We are especially grateful for code security audits performed
+or paid for by Mozilla and Red Hat.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Changes</h2>
+<p>
+This is the first non-bugfix release since version 0.9.75 and the first
+ever stable release of GNU libmicrohttpd. It is a huge one with new features
+and fixes.
+</p>
+The major changes include:
+<ul>
+<li>Rewritten parsing of clients' requests, fully aligned with current
+ RFCs (9110 and 9112) requirements. Added detailed control of strict
+ or lenient specification enforcement. Application may choose between
+ more compatible mode or more strict and secure mode.</li>
+<li>Reworked Digest Auth, greater enhanced support for current RFC 7617
+ features. MHD currently is the only known server-side implementation
+ with support for SHA-512/256, userhash and username in extended
+ notation. At the same time the very old RFC2069 is supported, as
+ well as MD5 and SHA-256.</li>
+<li>Improved functionality in multi-threading environment, especially with
+ external sockets polling modes.</li>
+<li>Reworked Basic Auth, adding new convenient API functions.</li>
+<li>Re-implemented GnuTLS initialisation. Now supported
+ libmicrohttpd-specific system-wide configuration, as well as generic
+ GnuTLS system-wide configuration. Application may adjust settings based
+ on system configuration instead of specifying its own full
+ configuration.</li>
+<li>Tons of other new functionality and various fixes. For detailed changes
+ see the ChangeLog or Git commit logs.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>Download</h2>
+<p>
+You can download GNU libmicrohttpd from:
+<ul>
+<li><a href="https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libmicrohttpd/ and all GNU FTP mirrors">https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libmicrohttpd/</a> and all GNU FTP mirrors.</li>
+<li>Our Git repository at <a href="https://git.gnunet.org/libmicrohttpd.git">https://git.gnunet.org/libmicrohttpd.git</a></li>
+</ul>
+</p>
+<p>
+Please report bugs to our
+<a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/set_project.php?project_id=10">bugtracker</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+The documentation (including a reference manual and tutorial) can be
+found at <a href="https://gnu.org/s/libmicrohttpd">https://gnu.org/s/libmicrohttpd</a>.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Future Development</h2>
+<p>
+We will now begin work on a 2nd major version of GNU libmicrohttpd. This
+version will have an easier to use API, add support for HTTP2 and HTTP3, as
+well as multiple TLS backends. Initial work on this will be done by <a
+href="https://taler-ops.ch/">Taler Operations AG</a> under a commission from
+the <a href="https://mastodon.social/@sovtechfund">German Sovereign Technology
+Fund</a>. The Sovereign Tech Fund supports the development, improvement, and
+maintenance of open digital infrastructure. Its goal is to sustainably
+strengthen the Free Software ecosystem, focusing on security, resilience,
+technological diversity, and the people behind the code. The result will of
+course be Free Software and continue to be released under the Lesser GNU
+General Public License.
+</p>
+
+<p> If you are interested in commercial support or would like to financially
+support our development, please <a href="mailto:mhd@taler-ops.ch">contact
+us</a>. We would like to see if we can transition from purely volunteer work
+to paid work to accelerate development. We would especially like to hear from
+you if your business might be interested in purchasing (CE) certifications for
+GNU libmicrohttpd (say for compliance with the EU
+<a href="https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/cyber-resilience-act">
+Cyber Resilience Act</a>). That would help Taler Operations AG to assess this
+potential business case.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Of course we will continue our best to provide gratis support -- but
+no warranties -- to developers via the GNU libmicrohttpd mailing-list.
+</p>
+<p>
+Happy hacking!
+</p>
+<p>
+Evgeny &amp; Christian

+<h1>2024-08: Enabling withdrawal of digital cash through third parties in GNU Taler</h1>
+<p>
+Striving to enhance the integration of GNU Taler into the existing world of payments, the bachelor thesis
+"cashless2ecash" realizes a framework to integrate into existing means of payment to allow the
+withdrawal of digital cash in GNU Taler.
+
+This addresses a report commissioned by the European Central Bank (ECB), which identified the universal
+acceptance as one of the most important aspects of a digital euro. This will therefore lead to better
+acceptance of GNU Taler by better integrating its ecosystem into the existing systems.
+
+Therefore the <a href="https://docs.taler.net/core/api-terminal.html">Terminals-API</a> is introduced as part of the bank-integration of GNU Taler.
+
+The thesis with further explanations and link to the report can be found at the
+<a href="https://git.taler.net/cashless2ecash.git/plain/docs/thesis.pdf">cashless2ecash git repository</a>

+<h1>2024-06: Donau - Tax Deductable Donations with Privacy<h1>
+<p>
+The Donau system is a new type of a donation authority system. It is free software with focus on privacy and anonymity. It depends on the code of the GNU Taler environment, but is completely independent of the Taler payment system.
+
+The verifiability of the donations receipts eliminates tax fraud. Furthermore, the new possibility to combine donation receipts increases the user convenience of the Donor and tax auditor.
+
+More detailed information about the topic can be found in the
+<a href="https://git.taler.net/donau.git/plain/doc/thesis/thesis.pdf">bachelor thesis</a>. To get an overview it is recommended to watch the corresponding <a href="">video</a>.
+
+The source code can be found in the public <a href="https://git.taler.net/donau.git">git repository</a>.
