+</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>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!

+<h1>Cashless to e-Cash</h1>
+
+<h2>Enabling withdrawal of digital cash through third parties in GNU Taler</h2>
+
+<p>
+During his bachelor thesis, Joel Häberli designed and implemented a framework allowing for cashless withdrawals in GNU Taler.
+</p>
+
+<h3>Abstract</h3>
+<p>
+This thesis develops and implements a framework that allows for cashless withdrawals
+using GNU Taler, with the objective of increasing the easy onboarding and acceptance
+of GNU Taler as payment system. 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.

+<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. In
+  addition, the solution's low operational costs, coupled with its built-in protection against abusive sharing of
+  subscriptions, make it highly attractive to merchants.
+</p>
+<p>
+  The solution is implemented in the <a href="https://git.taler.net/merchant.git/" target="_blank">GNU Taler merchant
+    component</a> as free and open source software. The integration into the GNU Taler wallets is subject to future
+  work. Furthermore, to inform customers about the degree of anonymity for a given subscription, an additional service
+  for authorizing the anonymity set size of subscriptions is proposed.

+<h2>Donau - Tax Deductable Donations with Privacy</h2>
+<p>
+Johannes Casaburi and Lukas Matyja finished their <a
+href="/papers/donau-thesis.pdf" target="_blank">Bachelor's thesis</a></li> on
+the design and implementation of a privacy-preserving donation system with
+integrated receipts for tax-deduction.
+</p>

+  </video>
+</p>
+<h3>Abstract</h3>
+<p>
+This project describes the design of a privacy-preserving donation
+system. 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.

+<h1>2024-12: &quot;Real-time GNU Taler auditor&quot;</h1>
+<p>
+This bachelor thesis implements puts it's focus on the GNU Taler auditor.
+Cedric Zwahlen and Nicola Eigel made it real-time and added single page application.

+<h2>Abstract</h2>
+<p>
+One of the key components of the GNU Taler payment system is the auditor, which is used to ensure that a payment service provider operating the payment system is operating correctly. 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.
