-@c The GNU Affero General Public License.
-@center Version 3, 19 November 2007
-
-@c This file is intended to be included within another document,
-@c hence no sectioning command or @node.
-
-@display
-Copyright @copyright{} 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. @url{http://fsf.org/}
-
-Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
-license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-@end display
-
-@heading Preamble
-
-The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license
-for software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
-cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
-
-The licenses for most software and other practical works are
-designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By
-contrast, our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your
-freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it
-remains free software for all its users.
-
-When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
-want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
-free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
-
-Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
-with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
-you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
-and/or modify the software.
-
-A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
-improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
-receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
-incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and
-encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of
-software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
-The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
-letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
-source code to the public.
-
-The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
-ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
-to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
-provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
-users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
-a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
-code of the modified version.
-
-An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
-published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is
-a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
-released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
-this license.
-
-The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-modification follow.
-
-@heading TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
-@enumerate 0
-@item Definitions.
-
-``This License'' refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License.
-
-``Copyright'' also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds
-of works, such as semiconductor masks.
-
-``The Program'' refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
-License. Each licensee is addressed as ``you''. ``Licensees'' and
-``recipients'' may be individuals or organizations.
-
-To ``modify'' a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
-in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of
-an exact copy. The resulting work is called a ``modified version'' of
-the earlier work or a work ``based on'' the earlier work.
-
-A ``covered work'' means either the unmodified Program or a work based
-on the Program.
-
-To ``propagate'' a work means to do anything with it that, without
-permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
-infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
-computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
-distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
-public, and in some countries other activities as well.
-
-To ``convey'' a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
-parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user
-through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not
-conveying.
-
-An interactive user interface displays ``Appropriate Legal Notices'' to
-the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
-feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
-tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
-extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
-work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
-the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
-menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
-
-@item Source Code.
-
-The ``source code'' for a work means the preferred form of the work for
-making modifications to it. ``Object code'' means any non-source form
-of a work.
-
-A ``Standard Interface'' means an interface that either is an official
-standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
-interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
-is widely used among developers working in that language.
-
-The ``System Libraries'' of an executable work include anything, other
-than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
-packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
-Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
-Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
-implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
-``Major Component'', in this context, means a major essential component
-(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
-(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
-produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
-
-The ``Corresponding Source'' for a work in object code form means all
-the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
-work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
-control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
-System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
-programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
-which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
-includes interface definition files associated with source files for
-the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
-linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
-such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
-subprograms and other parts of the work.
-
-The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can
-regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
-
-The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same
-work.
-
-@item Basic Permissions.
-
-All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
-copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
-conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
-permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
-covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
-content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
-rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
-
-You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey,
-without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force.
-You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having
-them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with
-facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the
-terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not
-control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for
-you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and
-control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your
-copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
-
-Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the
-conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
-makes it unnecessary.
-
-@item Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
-
-No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
-measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
-11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
-similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
-measures.
-
-When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
-circumvention of technological measures to the extent such
-circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with
-respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit
-operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against
-the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid
-circumvention of technological measures.
-
-@item Conveying Verbatim Copies.
-
-You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
-receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
-appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
-keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
-non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
-keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
-recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
-
-You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
-and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
-
-@item Conveying Modified Source Versions.
-
-You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
-produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
-terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these
-conditions:
-
-@enumerate a
-@item
-The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it,
-and giving a relevant date.
-
-@item
-The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released
-under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This
-requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to ``keep intact all
-notices''.
-
-@item
-You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to
-anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will
-therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms,
-to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they
-are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in
-any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have
-separately received it.
-
-@item
-If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
-Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
-interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work
-need not make them do so.
-@end enumerate
-
-A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
-works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
-and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
-in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
-``aggregate'' if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
-used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
-beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
-in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
-parts of the aggregate.
-
-@item Conveying Non-Source Forms.
-
-You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of
-sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable
-Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these
-ways:
-
-@enumerate a
-@item
-Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
-(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
-Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily
-used for software interchange.
-
-@item
-Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
-(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written
-offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you
-offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give
-anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the
-Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is
-covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used
-for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable
-cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access
-to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
-
-@item
-Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written
-offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is
-allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you
-received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection
-6b.
-
-@item
-Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place
-(gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
-Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
-further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
-Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy
-the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be
-on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports
-equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions
-next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.
-Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain
-obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to
-satisfy these requirements.
-
-@item
-Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you
-inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of
-the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under
-subsection 6d.
-
-@end enumerate
-
-A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
-from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
-included in conveying the object code work.
-
-A ``User Product'' is either (1) a ``consumer product'', which means any
-tangible personal property which is normally used for personal,
-family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for
-incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a
-consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of
-coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user,
-``normally used'' refers to a typical or common use of that class of
-product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way
-in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected
-to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of
-whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or
-non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant
-mode of use of the product.
-
-``Installation Information'' for a User Product means any methods,
-procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to
-install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User
-Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The
-information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of
-the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with
-solely because modification has been made.
-
-If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
-specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
-part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
-User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
-fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
-Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
-by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
-if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
-modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
-been installed in ROM).
-
-The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
-requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or
-updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the
-recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or
-installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification
-itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network
-or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the
-network.
-
-Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
-in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
-documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
-source code form), and must require no special password or key for
-unpacking, reading or copying.
-
-@item Additional Terms.
-
-``Additional permissions'' are terms that supplement the terms of this
-License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
-Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
-be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
-that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
-apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
-under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
-this License without regard to the additional permissions.
-
-When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
-remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
-it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
-removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
-additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
-for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
-
-Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
-add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders
-of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
-
-@enumerate a
-@item
-Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms
-of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
-
-@item
-Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author
-attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices
-displayed by works containing it; or
-
-@item
-Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
-requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
-reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
-
-@item
-Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
-authors of the material; or
-
-@item
-Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade
-names, trademarks, or service marks; or
-
-@item
-Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by
-anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with
-contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any
-liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those
-licensors and authors.
-@end enumerate
-
-All other non-permissive additional terms are considered ``further
-restrictions'' within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
-received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
-governed by this License along with a term that is a further
-restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
-a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
-License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
-of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
-not survive such relicensing or conveying.
-
-If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
-must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
-additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
-where to find the applicable terms.
-
-Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
-form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the
-above requirements apply either way.
-
-@item Termination.
-
-You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
-provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
-modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
-this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
-paragraph of section 11).
-
-However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
-from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
-unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
-terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
-fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to
-60 days after the cessation.
-
-Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
-reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
-violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
-received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
-copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
-your receipt of the notice.
-
-Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
-licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
-this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
-reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
-material under section 10.
-
-@item Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
-
-You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run
-a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
-occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
-to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
-nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
-modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
-not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
-covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
-
-@item Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
-
-Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
-receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
-propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
-for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
-
-An ``entity transaction'' is a transaction transferring control of an
-organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
-organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
-work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
-transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
-licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
-give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
-Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
-the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
-
-You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
-rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
-not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
-rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
-(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
-any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
-sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
-
-@item Patents.
-
-A ``contributor'' is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
-License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
-work thus licensed is called the contributor's ``contributor version''.
-
-A contributor's ``essential patent claims'' are all patent claims owned
-or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
-hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
-by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
-but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
-consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
-purposes of this definition, ``control'' includes the right to grant
-patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
-this License.
-
-Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
-patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
-make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
-propagate the contents of its contributor version.
-
-In the following three paragraphs, a ``patent license'' is any express
-agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
-(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
-sue for patent infringement). To ``grant'' such a patent license to a
-party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
-patent against the party.
-
-If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
-and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
-to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
-publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
-then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
-available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
-patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
-consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
-license to downstream recipients. ``Knowingly relying'' means you have
-actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
-covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
-in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
-country that you have reason to believe are valid.
-
-If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
-arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
-covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
-receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
-or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
-you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
-work and works based on it.
-
-A patent license is ``discriminatory'' if it does not include within the
-scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on
-the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically
-granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you
-are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the
-business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the
-third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the
-work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties
-who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent
-license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by
-you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in
-connection with specific products or compilations that contain the
-covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent
-license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
-
-Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
-any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
-otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
-
-@item No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
-
-If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
-otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
-excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey
-a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under
-this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
-consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree
-to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying
-from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could
-satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely
-from conveying the Program.
-
-@item Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
-
-Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
-Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting
-with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such
-interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your
-version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network
-server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of
-facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source shall include
-the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3 of the GNU
-General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the following
-paragraph.
-
-Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to
-link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of
-the GNU General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey
-the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to
-the part which is the covered work, but the work with which it is combined
-will remain governed by version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
-
-@item Revised Versions of this License.
-
-The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
-of the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time. Such new
-versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
-differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
-
-Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
-specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General Public
-License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of
-following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or
-of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If
-the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU Affero General
-Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free

-@heading How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
-
-If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
-free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
-terms.
-
-To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
-to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
-state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
-the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
-
-@smallexample
-@var{one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.}
-Copyright (C) @var{year} @var{name of author}

-This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
-it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published by
-the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at
-your option) any later version.
-
-This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
-WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
-MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
-Affero General Public License for more details.

-You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
-along with this program. If not, see @url{http://www.gnu.org/licenses/}.
-@end smallexample
-
-Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
-
-If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
-network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
-get its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its
-interface could display a ``Source'' link that leads users to an archive
-of the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different
-solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
-specific requirements.
-
-You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
-if any, to sign a ``copyright disclaimer'' for the program, if necessary.

-@node Configuration format
-@section Configuration format
-@cindex configuration
-
-In Taler realm, any component obeys to the same pattern to get configuration
-values. According to this pattern, once the component has been installed, the
-installation deploys default values in @cite{$@{prefix@}/share/taler/config.d/}, in
-@cite{.conf} files. In order to override these defaults, the user can write a custom
-@cite{.conf} file and either pass it to the component at execution time, or name it
-@cite{taler.conf} and place it under @cite{$HOME/.config/}.
-
-
-A config file is a text file containing @cite{sections}, and each section contains
-its @cite{values}. The right format follows:
-
-@example
-[section1]
-value1 = string
-value2 = 23
-
-[section2]
-value21 = string
-value22 = /path22
-@end example
-
-Throughout any configuration file, it is possible to use @code{$}-prefixed variables,
-like @code{$VAR}, especially when they represent filesystem paths.
-It is also possible to provide defaults values for those variables that are unset,
-by using the following syntax: @code{$@{VAR:-default@}}.
-However, there are two ways a user can set @code{$}-prefixable variables:
-
-by defining them under a @code{[paths]} section, see example below,
-
-@example
-[paths]
-TALER_DEPLOYMENT_SHARED = $@{HOME@}/shared-data
-..
-[section-x]
-path-x = $@{TALER_DEPLOYMENT_SHARED@}/x
-@end example
-
-or by setting them in the environment:
-
-@example
-$ export VAR=/x
-@end example
-
-The configuration loader will give precedence to variables set under @code{[path]},
-though.
-
-The utility @code{taler-config}, which gets installed along with the exchange, serves
-to get and set configuration values without directly editing the @cite{.conf}.
-The option @code{-f} is particularly useful to resolve pathnames, when they use
-several levels of @code{$}-expanded variables. See @code{taler-config --help}.
-
-Note that, in this stage of development, the file @code{$HOME/.config/taler.conf}
-can contain sections for @emph{all} the component. For example, both an exchange and
-a bank can read values from it.
-
-The repository @code{git://taler.net/deployment} contains examples of configuration
-file used in our demos. See under @code{deployment/config}.
-
-@cartouche
-@quotation Note
-Expectably, some components will not work just by using default values, as their
-work is often interdependent. For example, a merchant needs to know an exchange
-URL, or a database name.

-PREAMBLE
-
-The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
-functional and useful document @dfn{free} in the sense of freedom: to
-assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
-with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
-Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
-to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
-for modifications made by others.
-
-This License is a kind of ``copyleft'', which means that derivative
-works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
-complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
-license designed for free software.
-
-We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
-software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
-program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
-software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
-it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
-whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
-principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
-
-@item
-APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
-
-This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
-contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
-distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
-world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
-work under the conditions stated herein. The ``Document'', below,
-refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
-licensee, and is addressed as ``you''. You accept the license if you
-copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
-under copyright law.
-
-A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the
-Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
-modifications and/or translated into another language.
-
-A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section
-of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
-publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
-subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
-directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in
-part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain
-any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
-connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
-commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
-them.
-
-The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
-are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
-that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
-section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
-allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
-Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
-Sections then there are none.
-
-The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed,
-as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
-the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
-be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
-
-A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
-represented in a format whose specification is available to the
-general public, that is suitable for revising the document
-straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
-pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
-drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
-for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
-to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
-format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
-or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
-An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
-of text. A copy that is not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque''.
-
-Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
-@sc{ascii} without markup, Texinfo input format, La@TeX{} input
-format, @acronym{SGML} or @acronym{XML} using a publicly available
-@acronym{DTD}, and standard-conforming simple @acronym{HTML},
-PostScript or @acronym{PDF} designed for human modification. Examples
-of transparent image formats include @acronym{PNG}, @acronym{XCF} and
-@acronym{JPG}. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be
-read and edited only by proprietary word processors, @acronym{SGML} or
-@acronym{XML} for which the @acronym{DTD} and/or processing tools are
-not generally available, and the machine-generated @acronym{HTML},
-PostScript or @acronym{PDF} produced by some word processors for
-output purposes only.
-
-The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
-plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
-this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
-formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means
-the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
-preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
-
-The ``publisher'' means any person or entity that distributes copies
-of the Document to the public.
-
-A section ``Entitled XYZ'' means a named subunit of the Document whose
-title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
-text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
-specific section name mentioned below, such as ``Acknowledgements'',
-``Dedications'', ``Endorsements'', or ``History''.) To ``Preserve the Title''
-of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
-section ``Entitled XYZ'' according to this definition.
-
-The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
-states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
-Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
-License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
-implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
-no effect on the meaning of this License.
-
-@item
-VERBATIM COPYING
-
-You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
-commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
-copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
-to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
-conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
-technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
-copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
-compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
-number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
-
-You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
-you may publicly display copies.
-
-@item
-COPYING IN QUANTITY
-
-If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
-printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
-Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
-copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
-Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
-the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
-you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
-the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
-visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
-Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
-the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
-as verbatim copying in other respects.
-
-If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
-legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
-reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
-pages.
-
-If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
-more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
-copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
-a computer-network location from which the general network-using
-public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
-a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
-If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
-when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
-that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
-location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
-Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
-edition to the public.
-
-It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
-Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
-them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
-
-@item
-MODIFICATIONS
-
-You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
-the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
-the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
-Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
-and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
-of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
-
-@enumerate A
-@item
-Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
-from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
-(which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
-of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
-if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
-
-@item
-List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
-responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
-Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
-Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
-unless they release you from this requirement.
-
-@item
-State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
-Modified Version, as the publisher.
-
-@item
-Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
-
-@item
-Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
-adjacent to the other copyright notices.
-
-@item
-Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
-giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
-terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
-
-@item
-Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
-and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
-
-@item
-Include an unaltered copy of this License.
-
-@item
-Preserve the section Entitled ``History'', Preserve its Title, and add
-to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
-publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
-there is no section Entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one
-stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
-given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
-Version as stated in the previous sentence.
-
-@item
-Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
-public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
-the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
-it was based on. These may be placed in the ``History'' section.
-You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
-least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
-publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
-
-@item
-For any section Entitled ``Acknowledgements'' or ``Dedications'', Preserve
-the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the
-substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or
-dedications given therein.
-
-@item
-Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
-unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
-or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
-
-@item
-Delete any section Entitled ``Endorsements''. Such a section
-may not be included in the Modified Version.
-
-@item
-Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled ``Endorsements'' or
-to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
-
-@item
-Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
-@end enumerate
-
-If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
-appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
-copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
-of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
-list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
-These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
-
-You may add a section Entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains
-nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
-parties---for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
-been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
-standard.
-
-You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
-passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
-of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
-Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
-through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
-includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
-by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
-you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
-permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
-
-The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
-give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
-imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
-
-@item
-COMBINING DOCUMENTS
-
-You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
-License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
-versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
-Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
-list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
-license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
-
-The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
-multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
-copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
-different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
-adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
-author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
-Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
-Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
-
-In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled ``History''
-in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
-``History''; likewise combine any sections Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
-and any sections Entitled ``Dedications''. You must delete all
-sections Entitled ``Endorsements.''
-
-@item
-COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
-
-You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
-released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
-License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
-the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
-verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
-
-You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
-it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
-License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
-other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
-
-@item
-AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
-
-A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
-and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or

-@section About GNU Taler
-
-GNU Taler is an open protocol for an electronic payment system with a
-free software reference implementation. GNU Taler offers secure, fast
-and easy payment processing using well understood cryptographic
-techniques. GNU Taler allows customers to remain anonymous, while
-ensuring that merchants can be held accountable by governments.
-Hence, GNU Taler is compatible with anti-money-laundering (AML) and
-know-your-customer (KYC) regulation, as well as data protection
-regulation (such as GDPR).
-
-GNU Taler is not yet production-ready, after following this manual
-you will have a backend that can process payments in ``KUDOS'', but
-not regular currencies. This is not so much because of limitations
-in the backend, but because we are not aware of a Taler exchange
-operator offering regular currencies today.
-
-@section About this manual
-
-This tutorial targets system administrators who want to install and
-operate a GNU Taler exchange.
-
-@section Organizational prerequisites
-
-Operating a GNU Taler exchange means that you are operating a payment
-service provider, which means that you will most likely need a bank
-license and/or follow applicable financial regulation.
-
-@cindex availability
-@cindex backup
-@cindex replication
-GNU Taler payment service providers generally need to ensure high
-availability and have @emph{really} good backups (synchronous
-replication, asynchronous remote replication, off-site backup, 24/7
-monitoring, etc.).@footnote{Naturally, you could operate a Taler
-exchange for a toy currency without any real value on low-cost setups
-like a Raspberry Pi, but we urge you to limit the use of such setups
-to research and education as with GNU Taler data loss instantly
-results in financial losses.} This manual will not cover these
-aspects of operating a payment service provider.
-
-@cindex HSM
-@cindex offline
-@cindex database
-@cindex operational security
-We will assume that you can operate a (high-availability,
-high-assurance) Postgres database. Furthermore, we expect some
-moderate familiarity with the compilation and installation of free
-software packages. You need to understand the cryptographic concepts
-of private and public keys and must be able to protect private keys
-stored in files on disk. An exchange uses an @emph{offline} master
-key as well as @emph{online} keys. You are advised to secure your
-private master key and any copies on encrypted, always-offline
-computers. Again, we assume that you are familiar with good best
-practices in operational security, including securing key
-material.@footnote{The current implementation does not make provisions
-for secret splitting. Still, the use of a hardware security module
-(HSM) for protecting private keys is adviseable, so please contact the
-developers for HSM integration support.}
-
-
-@section Architecture overview
-
-@cindex crypto-currency
-@cindex bank
-@cindex escrow
-@cindex coin
-Taler is a pure payment system, not a new crypto-currency. As such, it
-operates in a traditional banking context. In particular, this means
-that in order to receive funds via Taler, the merchant must have a
-regular bank account, and payments can be executed in ordinary
-currencies such as USD or EUR. Similarly, the Taler exchange must
-interact with a bank. The bank of the exchange holds the exchange's
-funds in an escrow account.
-
-@cindex reserve
-@cindex fee
-@cindex aggregator
-@cindex deposit
-When customers wire money to the escrow account, the bank notifies
-the exchange about the incoming wire transfers. The exchange then
-creates a @emph{reserve} based on the subject of the wire transfer.
-The wallet which knows the secret key matching the wire transfer
-subject can then withdraw coins from the reserve, thereby draining
-it. The liability of the exchange against the reserve is thereby
-converted into a liability against digital coins issued by the
-exchange. When the customer later spends the coins at a merchant,
-and the merchant @emph{deposits} the coins at the exchange, the
-exchange first @emph{aggregates} the amount from multiple deposits
-from the same merchant and then instructs its bank to make a
-wire transfer to the merchant, thereby fulfilling its obligation
-and eliminating the liability. The exchange charges @emph{fees}
-for some or all of its operations to cover costs and possibly make
-a profit.
-
-@cindex auditor
-@cindex accounting
-@emph{Auditors} are third parties, for example financial regulators,
-that verify that the exchange operates correctly. The same software
-is also used to calculate the exchange's profits, risk and liabilities
-by the accountants of the exchange.
-
-The Taler software stack for an exchange consists of the
-following components:
-
-@itemize
-@cindex HTTP frontend
-@item The HTTP frontend interacts with Taler wallets and
- merchant backends. It is used to withdraw coins, deposit
- coins, refresh coins, issue refunds, map wire transfers to
- Taler transactions, inquire about the exchange's bank account
- details, signing keys and fee structure.
- The binary is the @code{taler-exchange-httpd}.
-@cindex Aggregator
-@item The aggregator combines multiple deposits made by
- the same merchant and (eventually) triggers wire transfers for the
- aggregate amount. The merchant can control how quickly wire
- transfers are made. The exchange may be charge a fee per wire transfer
- to discourage excessively frequent transfers. The binary
- is the @code{taler-exchange-aggregator}.
-@cindex Auditor
-@item The auditor verifies that the transactions performed by
- the exchange were done properly. It checks the various signatures,
- totals up the amounts and alerts the operator to any inconsistencies.
- It also computes the expected bank balance, revenue and risk exposure
- of the exchange operator. The main binary is the
- @code{taler-auditor}.
-@cindex Wire plugin
-@item A wire plugin enables the HTTP frontend to talk to the
- bank. Its role is to allow the exchange to validate bank
- addresses (i.e. IBAN numbers), for the aggregator to execute
- wire transfers and for the auditor to query bank transaction
- histories. Wire plugins are @emph{plugins} as there can be
- many different implementations to deal with different
- banking standards. Wire plugins are automatically located
- and used by the exchange, aggregator and auditor.
-@cindex DBMS
-@cindex Postgres
-@item The exchange requires a DBMS to stores the transaction history for
- the Taler exchange and aggregator, and a (typically separate) DBMS for
- the Taler auditor.
- For now, the GNU Taler reference implemenation only supports Postgres,
- but the code could be easily extended to support another DBMS.

-@end itemize
-
-Except for the last two, these are available in most GNU/Linux
-distributions and should just be installed using the respective
-package manager.
-
-The following instructions will show how to install libgnunetutil and
-the GNU Taler exchange.
-
-Before you install libgnunetutil, you must download and install the
-dependencies mentioned above, otherwise the build may succeed but fail
-to export some of the tooling required by Taler.
-
-To download and install libgnunetutil, proceed as follows:
-
-@example
-$ git clone https://git.gnunet.org/gnunet/
-$ cd gnunet/
-$ ./bootstrap
-$ ./configure [--prefix=GNUNETPFX]
-$ # Each dependency can be fetched from non standard locations via
-$ # the '--with-<LIBNAME>' option. See './configure --help'.
-$ make
-# make install
-@end example
-
-If you did not specify a prefix, GNUnet will install to
-@code{/usr/local}, which requires you to run the last step as
-@code{root}.
-
-To download and install the GNU Taler exchange, proceeds as follows:
-
-@setsyntax shell
-@example
-$ git clone git://git.taler.net/exchange
-$ cd exchange
-$ ./bootstrap
-$ ./configure [--prefix=EXCHANGEPFX] \
- [--with-gnunet=GNUNETPFX]
-$ # Each dependency can be fetched from non standard locations via
-$ # the '--with-<LIBNAME>' option. See './configure --help'.
-$ make
-# make install
-@end example
-
-If you did not specify a prefix, the exchange will install to
-@code{/usr/local}, which requires you to run the last step as
-@code{root}. Note that you have to specify @code{--with-gnunet=/usr/local}
-if you installed GNUnet to @code{/usr/local} in the previous step.

-@end itemize
-
-
-@node Currency
-@section Currency
-
-
-The exchange supports only one currency. This data is set under the respective
-option @cite{currency} in section @cite{[taler]}.
-
-@node Bank account
-@section Bank account
-
-To configure a bank account in Taler, we need to furnish four
-pieces of information:
-@itemize
-@item
- The @code{payto://} URL of the bank account, which uniquely idenfies
- the account. Examples for such URLs include
- @code{payto://sepa/CH9300762011623852957} for a bank account
- in the single European payment area (SEPA) or
- @code{payto://x-taler-bank/localhost:8080/2} for the 2nd bank
- account a the Taler bank demonstrator running at @code{localhost}
- on port 8080. The first part of the URL following @code{payto://}
- (``sepa'' or ``x-taler-bank'') is called the wire method.
-@item
- A matching wire plugin that implements a protocol to interact
- with the banking system. For example, the EBICS plugin can
- be used for SEPA transfers, or the ``taler-bank'' plugin can
- interact with the Taler bank demonstrator. A wire plugin
- only supports one particular wire method. Thus, you must make
- sure to pick a plugin that supports the wire method used in the
- URL.
-@item
- A file containing the signed JSON-encoded bank account details
- for the /wire API. This is necessary as Taler supports offline
- signing for bank accounts for additional security.
-@item
- Finally, the plugin needs to be provided resources for
- authentication to the respective banking service. The format
- in which the authentication information must be provided
- depends on the wire plugin.
-@end itemize
-
-You can configure multiple accounts for an exchange by creating
-sections starting with ``account-'' for the section name. You can
-ENABLE for each account whether it should be used, and for what
-(incoming or outgoing wire transfers):
-
-@setsyntax ini
-@example
-
-[account-1]
-URL = "payto://sepa/CH9300762011623852957"
-WIRE_RESPONSE = $@{TALER_CONFIG_HOME@}/account-1.json
-
-# Currently, only the 'taler_bank' plugin is implemented.
-PLUGIN = <plugin_name_here>
-
-# Use for exchange-aggregator (outgoing transfers)
-ENABLE_DEBIT = YES
-# Use for exchange-wirewatch (and listed in /wire)
-ENABLE_CREDIT = YES
-
-# Authentication options for the chosen plugin go here.
-# (Next sections have examples of authentication mechanisms)
-@end example
-
-The command line tool @cite{taler-exchange-wire} is used to create
-the @code{account-1.json} file.
-For example, the utility may be invoked as follows to create
-all of the WIRE_RESPONSE files (in the locations specified by the configuration):
-
-@example
-$ taler-exchange-wire
-@end example
-
-The generated file will be echoed by the exchange when serving
-/wire@footnote{https://api.taler.net/api-exchange.html#wire-req}
-requests.

-@subsection Wire plugin ``taler_bank''
-@cindex x-taler-bank
-@cindex taler_bank plugin
-
-The @code{taler_bank} plugin implements the wire method ``x-taler-bank''.
-
-The format of the @code{payto://} URL is @code{payto://x-taler-bank/HOSTNAME[:PORT]}.
-

-@cindex fee
-
-For each wire method (``sepa'' or ``x-taler-wire'', but not per plugin!) the
-exchange configuration must specify applicable wire fees. This is done
-in configuration sections of the format @code{fees-METHOD}. There are two
-types of fees, simple wire fees and closing fees. Wire fees apply whenever
-the aggregator transfers funds to a merchant. Closing fees apply whenever
-the exchange closes a reserve (sending back funds to the customer). The
-fees must be constant for a full year, which is specified as part of the name
-of the option.
-
-@setsyntax ini
-@example
-[fees-iban]
-WIRE-FEE-2018 = EUR:0.01
-WIRE-FEE-2019 = EUR:0.01
-CLOSING-FEE-2018 = EUR:0.01
-CLOSING-FEE-2019 = EUR:0.01

-"$CURRENCY_[$SUBUNIT]_$VALUE", i.e. @cite{[coin_eur_ct_10]} for a 10
-cent piece. However, only the "coin_" prefix is mandatory. Each
-"coin_"-section must then have the following options:
-
-
-@itemize
-
-@item
-@cite{value}: How much is the coin worth, the format is
-CURRENCY:VALUE.FRACTION. For example, a 10 cent piece is "EUR:0.10".
-
-@item
-@cite{duration_withdraw}: How long can a coin of this type be

-@cite{duration_overlap}: What is the overlap of the withdrawal
-timespan for this coin type?
-
-@item
-@cite{duration_spend}: How long is a coin of the given type valid?
-Smaller values result in lower storage costs for the exchange.
-

-
-@cite{signkeys}. The option @cite{lookahead_sign} is such that, being

-@cite{taler-exchange-keyup} will generate @cite{n} @cite{signkeys},
-where @cite{t + (n * signkey_duration) = t + lookahead_sign}. In other
-words, we generate a number of keys which is sufficient to cover a

-
-@cite{denom keys}. The option @cite{lookahead_sign} is such that,

-@section Keys generation
-
-Once the configuration is properly set up, all the keys can be generated
-by the tool @code{taler-exchange-keyup}. The following command generates denomkeys
-and signkeys, plus the "blob" that is to be signed by the auditor.
-
-@example
-taler-exchange-keyup -o blob
-@end example
-
-@emph{blob} contains data about denomkeys that the exchange operator needs to
-get signed by every auditor he wishes (or is forced to) work with.
-
-In a normal scenario, an auditor must have some way of receiving the blob to
-sign (Website, manual delivery, ..). Nonetheless, the exchange admin can fake
-an auditor signature --- for testing purposes --- by running the following command
-
-@example
-taler-auditor-sign -m EXCHANGE_MASTER_PUB -r BLOB -u AUDITOR_URL -o OUTPUT_FILE
-@end example
-
-Those arguments are all mandatory.
-
-@itemize
-@item @code{EXCHANGE_MASTER_PUB} the base32 Crockford-encoded exchange's master
-public key. Tipically, this value lies in the configuration option
-@code{[exchange]/master_public_key}.
-@item @code{BLOB} the blob generated in the previous step.
-@item @code{AUDITOR_URL} the URL that identifies the auditor.
-@item @code{OUTPUT_FILE} where on the disk the signed blob is to be saved.
-@end itemize
-
-@code{OUTPUT_FILE} must then be copied into the directory specified
-by the option @code{AUDITOR_BASE_DIR} under the section @code{[exchangedb]}.
-Assuming @code{AUDITOR_BASE_DIR = $@{HOME@}/.local/share/taler/auditors}, the
-following command will "add" the auditor identified by @code{AUDITOR_URL} to
-the exchange.
-
-@example
-cp OUTPUT_FILE $@{HOME@}/.local/share/taler/auditors
-@end example
-
-If the auditor has been correctly added, the exchange's @code{/keys} response
-must contain an entry in the @code{auditors} array mentioning the auditor's URL.

-@section Database upgrades
-
-Currently, there is no way to upgrade the database between Taler versions.
-
-The exchange database can be re-initialized using:
-
-@example
-$ taler-exchange-dbinit -r
-@end example
-
-However, running this command will result in all data in the database
-being lost, which may result in significant financial liabilities as
-the exchange can then not detect double-spending. Hence this
-operation must not be performed in a production system.

-for test cases but should never be used in production. Finally,
-@cite{taler-exchange-dbinit} has a function to garbage collect a database,
-allowing administrators to purge records that are no longer required.
-

-@node Signing key storage
-@section Signing key storage
-
-
-The private online signing keys of the exchange are stored in a
-subdirectory "signkeys/" of the "KEYDIR" which is an option in the
-"[exchange]" section of the configuration file. The filename is the
-starting time at which the signing key can be used in microseconds
-since the Epoch. The file format is defined by the @cite{struct TALER_EXCHANGEDB_PrivateSigningKeyInformationP}:
-
-@example
-struct TALER_EXCHANGEDB_PrivateSigningKeyInformationP @{
- struct TALER_ExchangePrivateKeyP signkey_priv;
- struct TALER_ExchangeSigningKeyValidityPS issue;
-@};
-@end example
-
-
-@node Denomination key storage
-@section Denomination key storage
-
-The private denomination keys of the exchange are store in a
-subdirectory "denomkeys/" of the "KEYDIR" which is an option in the
-"[exchange]" section of the configuration file. "denomkeys/" contains
-further subdirectories, one per denomination. The specific name of
-the subdirectory under "denomkeys/" is ignored by the exchange.
-However, the name is important for the "taler-exchange-keyup" tool
-that generates the keys. The tool combines a human-readable encoding
-of the denomination (i.e. for EUR:1.50 the prefix would be
-"EUR_1_5-", or for EUR:0.01 the name would be "EUR_0_01-") with a
-postfix that is a truncated Crockford32 encoded hash of the various
-attributes of the denomination key (relative validity periods, fee
-structure and key size). Thus, if any attributes of a coin change,
-the name of the subdirectory will also change, even if the
-denomination remains the same.
-
-Within this subdirectory, each file represents a particular
-denomination key. The filename is the starting time at which the
-signing key can be used in microseconds since the Epoch. The
-format on disk begins with a
-@cite{struct TALER_EXCHANGEDB_DenominationKeyInformationP} giving
-the attributes of the denomination key and the associated
-signature with the exchange's long-term offline key:
-
-@example
-struct TALER_EXCHANGEDB_DenominationKeyInformationP @{
- struct TALER_MasterSignatureP signature;
- struct TALER_DenominationKeyValidityPS properties;
-@};
-@end example
-
-This is then followed by the variable-size RSA private key in
-libgcrypt's S-expression format, which can be decoded using
-@cite{GNUNET_CRYPTO_rsa_private_key_decode()}.
-
-@menu
-* Revocations::
-@end menu
-
-@node Revocations
-@subsection Revocations
-
-@cindex payback
-@cindex revocation
-When an exchange goes out of business or detects that the private
-key of a denomination key pair has been compromised, it may revoke
-some or all of its denomination keys. At this point, the hashes
-of the revoked keys must be returned as part of the @code{/keys} response
-under ``payback''. Wallets detect this, and then return unspent
-coins of the respective denomination key using the @code{/payback}
-API.
-
-When a denomination key is revoked, a revocation file is placed
-into the respective subdirectory of ``denomkeys/''. The file has the
-same prefix as the file that stores the
-@cite{struct TALER_EXCHANGEDB_DenominationKeyInformationP} information,
-but is followed by the ``.rev'' suffix. It contains a 64-byte
-EdDSA signature made with the master key of the exchange with purpose
-@code{TALER_SIGNATURE_MASTER_DENOMINATION_KEY_REVOKED}. If such a file
-is present, the exchange must check the signature and if it is valid
-treat the respective denomination key as revoked.
-
-Revocation files can be generated using the
-@code{taler-exchange-keyup} command-line tool using the @code{-r}
-option. The Taler auditor will instruct operators to generate
-revocations if it detects a key compromise (which is possible more
-coins of a particular denomination were deposited than issued).
-
-It should be noted that denomination key revocations should only happen
-under highly unusual (``emergency'') conditions and not under normal
-conditions.
-
-
-@node Auditor signature storage
-@section Auditor signature storage
-
-
-Signatures from auditors are stored in the directory specified
-in the exchange configuration section "exchangedb" under the
-option "AUDITOR_BASE_DIR". The exchange does not care about
-the specific names of the files in this directory.
-
-Each file must contain a header with the public key information
-of the auditor, the master public key of the exchange, and
-the number of signed denomination keys:
-
-@example
-struct AuditorFileHeaderP @{
- struct TALER_AuditorPublicKeyP apub;
- struct TALER_MasterPublicKeyP mpub;
- uint32_t dki_len;
-@};
-@end example
-
-This is then followed by @cite{dki_len} signatures of the auditor of type
-@cite{struct TALER_AuditorSignatureP}, which are then followed by another
-@cite{dki_len} blocks of type @cite{struct TALER_DenominationKeyValidityPS}.
-The auditor's signatures must be signatures over the information of
-the corresponding denomination key validity structures embedded in a
-@cite{struct TALER_ExchangeKeyValidityPS} structure using the
-@cite{TALER_SIGNATURE_AUDITOR_EXCHANGE_KEYS} purpose.
