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. +</p> +<h4>Download links</h4> +<ul> +<li><a href="/papers/thesis_belen_barros_pena.pdf">PDF (English)</a></li> +</ul> + +{% endblock body_content %} diff --git a/template/news/2022-01.html.j2 b/template/news/2022-01.html.j2 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..c9bb0c56 --- /dev/null +++ b/template/news/2022-01.html.j2 @@ -0,0 +1,38 @@ +{% extends "common/news.j2" %} +{% block body_content %} +<h1>2022-02: Pubblichiamo "Come una banca centrale dovrebbe emettere una moneta digitale"</h1> +<p> +Siamo lieti di annunciare la pubblicazione del nostro articolo su +"Come emettere una moneta digitale di banca centrale" +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.

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.

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. +</p> +<h2>Download links</h2> +<ul> + <li><a href="https://www.oenb.at/dam/jcr:0e3c00d6-2e0a-4089-b23c-5604e60ebde5/07_Mop_Q1-2_22_A-digital-euro-and-the-future-of-cash.pdf">Original publication (Oesterreichische Nationalbank)</a></li> + <li><a href="/papers/digital-euro-and-the-future-of-cash.pdf">Local copy (mirror)</a></li> +</ul> + +{% endblock body_content %} diff --git a/template/news/2022-08.html.j2 b/template/news/2022-08.html.j2 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..7eff7bd1 --- /dev/null +++ b/template/news/2022-08.html.j2 @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +{% extends "common/news.j2" %} +{% block body_content %} +<h1>2022-06: Vortrag zu "Datenschutzfreundliches digitales Bezahlen" beim Netzpolitischen Abend in Zürich</h1> +<p> + <video id="video" poster="https://taler.net/images/logo-2020.jpg" autobuffer="" height="360" width="640" controls="controls"> + <source src="https://taler.net/videos/netpol2022.webm" type="video/webm" /> + <source src="https://taler.net/videos/netpol2022.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> + </video> +</p> +<p> + <a rel="license" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/deed.en_US"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="https://taler.net/images/ccby.png"></a><br>"<span xmlns:dct="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" property="dct:title">Taler</span>" by <span xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#" property="cc:attributionName">Christian Grothoff, produced by c3voc.de</span> is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/deed.en_US">Creative Commons Attribution NoDerivatives 3.0 Unported License</a>. +</p> +{% endblock body_content %} diff --git a/template/news/2022-09.html.j2 b/template/news/2022-09.html.j2 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..c44f6de6 --- /dev/null +++ b/template/news/2022-09.html.j2 @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +{% extends "common/news.j2" %} {% block body_content %} + +<h1>2022-9: "Zero-Knowledge Age Restriction for GNU Taler"</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> +<h2>Download links</h2> +<ul> + <li><a href="/papers/esorics2022-age-restriction.pdf">PDF (English)</a></li> + <li><a href="/presentations/esorics2022.pdf">PDF of presentation on ESORICS 2022 (English)</a></li> + <li>The paper has been <a href="https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-17140-6_6">published in the proceedings to ESORICS 2022</a></li> + +</ul> + +{% endblock body_content %} diff --git a/template/news/2022-10.html.j2 b/template/news/2022-10.html.j2 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..a522d810 --- /dev/null +++ b/template/news/2022-10.html.j2 @@ -0,0 +1,57 @@ +{% extends "common/news.j2" %} +{% block body_content %} +<h1>2022-11: GNU Taler v0.9.0 released</h1> +<p> +We are happy to announce the release of GNU Taler v0.9.0. +</p> +<p> +We have addressed over 200 individual issues, our bug tracker +has the <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/changelog_page.php?version_id=295">full list</a>. +Notable changes include: +</p> +<ul> +<li>NEW: Support for peer-to-peer payments</li> +<li>NEW: Support for age-restricted payments</li> +<li>Improved accessibility of the demonstration</li> +<li>Improved exchange database schema for performance and scalability</li> +<li>libeufin sandbox replaces legacy Python bank</li> +<li>WebExtension now supports <a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/chrome-users-beware-manifest-v3-deceitful-and-threatening">Manifest V3</a></li> +<li>Various minor bugfixes and documentation improvements</li> +</ul> +<p> +Many of the major new features were developed under an NGI POINTER grant +funded by the European Commissions great <a href="https://ngi.eu/">Next +Generation Internet</a> initiative under grant +agreement number 871528. +Performance measurements and improvements were funded by an NGI Fed4Fire+ +grant. +</p> +<p> +To fund further development, +<a href="https://taler-systems.com/">Taler Systems SA</a> is still +<a href="2022-11.html">looking for investors.</a> +</p> +<h4>Download links</h4> +<p> +The wallet has its own download site <a +href="https://wallet.taler.net/">here</a>.

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> +or contact the coordinator Tanja Lange. +</p> +{% endblock body_content %} diff --git a/template/news/2024-03.html.j2 b/template/news/2024-03.html.j2 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..9a4051d6 --- /dev/null +++ b/template/news/2024-03.html.j2 @@ -0,0 +1,12 @@ +{% extends "common/news.j2" %} +{% block body_content %} +<h1>NLnet open call with funding opportunities for GNU Taler integrators</h1> +<p> +Join us on our journey towards informational self-determination in payments! +As part of NGI TALER, <a href="https://nlnet.nl/">NLnet Foundation</a> +is running an <a href="https://nlnet.nl/taler">open call</a> and will award grants +to third parties working on GNU Taler enhancements <b>globally</b>.

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.
