  • Zero-Knowledge Age Restriction for GNU Taler

    2022-08-10

    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 pay [...]

  • GNU Taler Scalability

    2022-06-16

    Anonymity loves company. Hence, to provide the best possible anonymity to GNU Taler users, the scalability of individual installations of a Taler payment service matters. While our design scales nicely on paper, NGI Fed4Fire+ enabled us to evaluate the transaction rates that could be achieved with the actual implementation. Experiments were conducted by Marco Boss for his Bachelor's thesis at the Bern University of Applied Sciences to assess bottlenecks and suggest avenues for further improvem [...]

  • Paper: Who comes after us? The correct mindset for designing a Central Bank Digital Currency

    2022-05-25

    The title of the paper refers to the former DIRNSA, who claimed that "nobody comes after us" just before the NSA lost control of its data on Afghanistan collaborators to the Taliban. The paper urges for this cautionary tale to be considered when central banks are creating digital currencies.

  • Central Bank Accounts are Dangerous and Unnecessary: A critique of two papers

    2022-03-11

    In December 2021, the European Central Bank (ECB) published a report on ``Central Bank Digital Currency: functional scope, pricing and controls'' in its Occasional Paper Series, detailing various challenges for the Digital Euro. While the authors peripherally acknowledge the existence of token-based payment systems, the notion that a Digital Euro will somehow require citizens to have some kind of central bank account is pervasive in the paper. We argue that an account-based design cannot meet [...]
