From: Christian Grothoff 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
