+<h1>2020-04: Exchange ready for external security audit</h1>
+<p>
+  We received a grant from <a href="https://nlnet.nl/>NLnet
+  foundation</a> to pay for an
+  external security audit of the GNU Taler exchange cryptography,
+  code and documentation.  We spent the last four months preparing
+  the code, closing almost all of the known issues, performing static analysis,
+  fixing compiler warnings, improving test code coverage,
+  fuzzing, benchmarking, and reading the code line-by-line.
+  Now, we are now ready to start the external audit. This April,
+  <a href="https://codeblau.de/">CodeBlau</a> will review the
+  code in the Master branch tagged <tt>CodeBlau-NGI-2019</tt>
+  and we will of course make their report available in full
+  once it is complete.  Thanks to NLnet and the European
+  Commission's Horizion 2020 <a href="https://www.ngi.eu/">NGI initiative</a>
+  for funding this work.
