The Affero + GPLv3+ is used for the exchange, the LGPLv3+ is used for + reference code demonstrating integration with merchant + platforms, and licenses like Apache/Mozilla/GPLv3+ are + used for wallets and related customer-facing software. + We are open for constructive suggestions for maximizing + the adoption of this libre payment platform. + ") }}

{{ _("RESTful") }}

{{ _("Taler is designed to work on the Internet. To + ensure that Taler payments can work with restrictive + network setups, Taler uses a RESTful protocol over HTTP or + HTTPS. Taler's security does not depend upon the use of + HTTPS, but obviously merchants may choose to offer HTTPS + for consistency and because it generally is better for + privacy compared to HTTP. Taler uses JSON to encode + structure data, making it easy to integrate Taler with + existing Web applications. Taler's protocol is documented + in detail here. + ") }}

{{ _("Taler system overview") }}

+ +

{{ _("The Taler system consists of protocols executed + among a number of actors with the help + of Free Software as + illustrated in the illustration on the right. Typical + transactions involve the following steps: + ") }}

+ + system overview +
    +
  1. {{ _("A customer instructs his bank to + transfer funds from his account to the Taler exchange + (top left). In the subject of the transaction, he + includes an authentication token from his + electronic wallet. In Taler terminology, the + customer creates a reserve at the exchange. + ") }}
    2. + +
  2. {{ _("Once the exchange has received the + transfer, it allows the customer's electronic wallet + to withdraw electronic coins. The electronic + coins are digital representations of the original + currency from the transfer. It is important to note + that the exchange does not learn the "serial numbers" + of the coins created in this process, so it cannot tell + later which customer purchased what at which merchant. + The use of Taler does not change the currency or the + total value of the funds (except for fees which the + exchange may charge for the service). + ") }}
    3. + +
  3. {{ _("Once the customer has the digital coins in + his wallet, the wallet can be used to spend the + coins with merchant portals that support the Taler + payment system and accept the respective exchange as a + business partner (bottom arrow). This creates a digital + contract signed by the customer's coins and the + merchant. If necessary, the customer can later use + this digitally signed contract in a court of law to + prove the exact terms of the contract and that he paid + the respective amount. The customer does not learn the + banking details of the merchant, and Taler does not + require the merchant to learn the identity of the + customer. Naturally, the customer can spend any + fraction of his digital coins (the system takes care of + customers getting change). + ") }}
    4. + +
  4. {{ _("Merchants receiving digital + coins deposit the respective receipts that + resulted from the contract signing with the customer at + the exchange to redeem the coins. The deposit step + does not reveal the details of the contract between the + customer and the merchant or the identity of the + customer to the exchange in any way. However, the + exchange does learn the identity of the merchant via + the provided bank routing information. The merchant + can, for example when compelled by the state for + taxation, provide information linking the individual + deposit to the respective contract signed by the + customer. Thus, the exchange's database allows the + state to enforce that merchants pay applicable taxes + (and do not engage in illegal contracts). + ") }}
    5. + +
  5. {{ _("Finally, the exchange transfers funds + corresponding to the digital coins redeemed by the + merchants to the merchant's bank account. The + exchange may combine multiple small transactions into + one larger bank transfer. The merchant can query the + exchange about the relationship between the bank + transfers and the individual claims that were + deposited. + ") }}
    6. + +
  6. {{ _("Most importantly, the exchange keeps + cryptographic proofs that allow it to demonstrate that + it is operating correctly to third parties. The system + requires an external auditor, such as a + government-appointed financial regulatory body, to + frequently verify the exchange's databases and check that + its bank balance matches the total value of the + remaining coins in circulation. + ") }}
    7. + +
  7. {{ _("Without the auditor, the exchange operators + could embezzle funds they are holding in + reserve. Customers and merchants cannot cheat each + other or the exchange. If any party's computers are + compromised, the financial damage is limited to the + respective party and proportional to the funds they + have in circulation during the period of the + compromise. + ") }}
