  abstract = {GNU Taler is a new electronic online payment system which provides privacy
        for customers and accountability for merchants. It uses an exchange service to
        issue digital coins using blind signatures, and is thus not subject to the
        performance issues that plague Byzantine fault-tolerant consensus-based
        solutions. The focus of this paper is addressing the challenges payment systems
        face in the context of the Web. We discuss how to address Web-specific
        challenges, such as handling bookmarks and sharing of links, as well as
        supporting users that have disabled JavaScript. Web payment systems must also
        navigate various constraints imposed by modern Web browser security architecture,
        such as same-origin policies and the separation between browser extensions and
        Web pages. While our analysis focuses on how Taler operates within the security
        infrastructure provided by the modern Web, the results partially generalize to
        other payment systems. We also include the perspective of merchants, as existing
        systems have often struggled with securing payment information at the merchant's
        side. Here, challenges include avoiding database transactions for customers that
        do not actually go through with the purchase, as well as cleanly separating
        security-critical functions of the payment system from the rest of the Web
        service},
