for fraud</h3>
-          <p>Banks are naturally unhappy about shouldering the cost for fraud, 
and use

providing
-            adequate help to minimize fraud.<br>
-             With GNU Taler, cryptography ensures that identity theft and many 
related
-            types of fraud are no longer possible, allowing banks to offer 
customers
-            a payment experience where neither side needs to worry about fraud.

-          <p>Security researchers found serious security flaws in the German 
&quot;electronic cash&quot; system
-             which enable criminals to withdraw funds from merchant accounts 
based on the information printed
-             on receipts and other information obtained from public sources or 
point-of-sales terminals purchased
-             online.<br>
-             The German &quot;electronic cash&quot; system is based on the 
&quot;Poseidon&quot; protocol, for
-             which there is no publicly accessible specification or reference 
implementation. This has allowed
-             such major security holes to persist for decades.

-          <h3>30-4-2015: 1970 Researchers Predicted Debit Cards Would be Great 
for Surveillance</h3>
-          <p>&quot;Suppose you were an advisor to the head of the KGB,
-          the Soviet Secret Police. Suppose you are given the
-          assignment of designing a system for the surveillance of all
-          citizens and visitors within the boundaries of the USSR. The
-          system is not to be too obtrusive or obvious. What would be
-          your decision?&quot;<br>
-          The think tank RAND essentially answered this question with
-          a blueprint for modern payment systems.  Taler offers an
-          escape from the financial panopticon.

-          <h3>17-3-2015: Pointing Fingers in Apple Pay Fraud</h3>
-          <p>Apple Pay may be easy to use, but the simplistic
-            user identification creates opportunities for fraud,
-            resulting in much higher fraud rates than even with traditional
-            credit card systems.<br>
-            Taler does not require user identification, enabling
-            ease of use while also being effective against fraud.

practices</h3>
-          <p>The Visa and MasterCard duopoly has eliminated competition among
-             banks, setting fees that take away a significant share of profits 
from
-             small merchants.<br>
-             Taler is an open standard with free software

competition.

-          <h3>5-12-2014: US judge rules banks can sue merchant for bad 
security</h3>
-          <p>Merchants taking credit card data from customers now have to 
additionally
-             fear banks suing them for losses.  It is not suggested that the 
merchant
-             in question was not in compliance with PCI DSS security audit 
procedures.<br>
-             With Taler, merchants never handle sensitive personal credit 
data, and
-             thus neither customers, exchanges nor governments would even have 
standing to
-             sue merchants in court.  Thus, if a merchant system were to be 
compromised,
-             the damage would be limited to the merchant's own operations.

-             recognition.

-          <h3>10-9-2014: PayPal accounts hacked with a click</h3>
-          <p>Yasser Ali reports a now patched vulnerability in PayPal that 
would
-             have allowed him to reset other user's passwords and take over 
their
-             accounts. This is unlikely to be the last vulnerability found in
-             account-based payment systems.<br>
-             In Taler, customers do not have accounts with usernames, passwords
-             or associated e-mail addresses.  Instead, Taler uses reserves 
which
-             are represented by a private key on the owner's computer.  Users
-             create a reserve by depositing currency at a Taler exchange, and 
can then
-             withdraw digital coins from that reserve using the respective 
private
-             key.  There is no limit on the number of reserves a user can 
have, and
-             even hacking the Taler exchange would not provide an adversary 
with access to
-             user's reserves (as the Taler exchange does not have the private 
keys).
-             Stealing in Taler requires breaking into each customer's computer 
to
-             extract the reserve keys or the coins from the digital wallet.

verification

mobiles
-             and biometrics.  Continuing their flawed insistence on verifying

their
-             customers, from shopping habbits down to their cardiac rhythm.<br>
-             Taler does not require a customer's identity to verify a payment, 
as the
-             payment system cryptographically verifies the coins.  Thus, Taler 
does
-             not have to intrude into any personal detail of a citizen's life, 
and
-             certainly not their private medical data.

-          <p>Despite the EU allowing the NSA access to financial transaction 
data to
-             track terrorists and organized crime, the NSA saw it necessary to
-             target international payment processors including SWIFT and Visa.
-             As terrorism and organized crime are covered by legal means, 
industrial
-             espionage to improve the US economy is the only remaining US 
national
-             interest within the NSA's mandate that would explain this illegal 
activity.<br>
-             With Taler, exchanges will only learn the value of a merchant's 
transactions,
-             not who paid or for what (governments may learn what was sold).  
Thus,

security</h3>
+          <p>Merchants taking credit card data from customers now have to 
additionally
+             fear banks suing them for losses.  It is not suggested that the 
merchant
+             in question was not in compliance with PCI DSS security audit 
procedures.<br>
+             With Taler, merchants never handle sensitive personal credit 
data, and
+             thus neither customers, exchanges nor governments would even have 
standing to
+             sue merchants in court.  Thus, if a merchant system were to be 
compromised,
+             the damage would be limited to the merchant's own operations.
