from true-name payments on the Internet. The credit card payment system is one 
of the worst things that happened for the user, in terms of being able to 
divorce their access from their identity.'' \\ \hfill --Edward Snowden, IETF 93

+\section{Unique sales propositions}
+\begin{frame}{1. Unique sales propositions (USPs)}
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item Distributed trust instead of single point of failure
+    \item Maximum privacy with respect to authentication data
+    \item Post-quantum security
+    \item Easy to use
+    \item Low cost, scalable cloud-based solution
+    \item Transparent, Free Software solution
+    \item Generic API suitable for a range of applications
+  \end{itemize}

+\section{The problem}
+\begin{frame}{2. The problem}
+
+    \begin{itemize}
+    \item Confidentiality requires only consumer is in control of key material
+    \item Consumers are unable to simultaneously ensure confidentiality and 
availability of keys
+    \item Cryptographic key-splitting solutions so far are not usable
+    \item{European e-money issuers using electronic wallets 
must:\footnote{According to communication from ECB to Taler Systems SA.}
+      \begin{itemize}
+          \item Enable consumers to always recover their electronic funds 
(i.e. if devices are lost)
+          \item Not assume consumers are able to remember or securely preserve 
key material
+        \end{itemize}}

+\section{What is Anastasis?}
+\begin{frame}{3. What is Anastasis?}
+  \vfill
+  \begin{center}
+Anastasis is a key recovery service.
+  \end{center}
+  \begin{itemize}
+  \item Users split their secret keys across multiple service providers
+  \item Service providers learn nothing about the user, except possibly some 
details about how to authenticate the user
+  \item Only the authorized user can recover the key by following standard 
authentication procedures (SMS TAN, Video-Indent, Security Question, eMail, 
etc.)
+  \end{itemize}
+  \vfill
+\end{frame}
+
+
+\begin{frame}{4. Advantages of Anastasis}
+    \begin{itemize}
+        \item{Minimal disclosure of information}
+        \item{Only uses post-quantum secure symmetric cryptography}
+        \item{Customer remain anonymous:
+          \begin{itemize}
+          \item minimizes risk to Anastasis service provider in case database 
is exposed
+          \item makes it more difficult for attackers to fool authentication 
procedure
+          \end{itemize}}
+        \item E-money issuer does not have to protect consumer data against 
its own staff and can respect consumer privacy
+    \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+
+\begin{frame}{5. Social impact of Anastasis}
+          \begin{itemize}
+          \item Low-cost solution with minimal environmental impact
+          \item Increases informational self-determination by keeping 
consumers in control of their data
+          \item Free Software contributes to the global Commons
+          \end{itemize}
+\end{frame}
+
+
+\begin{frame}{6. Operating model}
+          \begin{itemize}
+          \item E-money issuers pay Anastasis UG to offer service to consumers 
with wallets to satisfy their regulatory requirements (service must {\bf exist})
+          \item Wallet operators pay Anastasis UG to assist with technical 
integration
+          \item Consumers pay Anastasis UG for safekeeping and/or recovery 
(subscription)

currencies
