+% SIG-ALTERNATE.CLS - VERSION 2.4
+% "COMPATIBLE" WITH THE "ACM_PROC_ARTICLE-SP.CLS" V3.2SP
+% Gerald Murray - April 22nd. 2009
+%
+% ---- Start of 'updates'  ----
+%
+% Changed $5 fee to $10 - Gerry
+% April 22nd. 2009 - Fixed 'Natbib' incompatibility problem - Gerry
+% April 22nd. 2009 - Fixed 'Babel' incompatibility problem - Gerry
+% April 22nd. 2009 - Inserted various bug-fixes and improvements - Gerry
+%
+% To produce Type 1 fonts in the document plus allow for 'normal LaTeX accenting' in the critical areas;
+% title, author block, section-heads, confname, etc. etc. 
+% i.e. the whole purpose of this version update is to NOT resort to 'inelegant accent patches'.
+% After much research, three extra .sty packages were added to the the tail (ae, aecompl, aeguill) to solve,
+% in particular, the accenting problem(s). We _could_ ask authors (via instructions/sample file) to 'include' these in
+% the source .tex file - in the preamble - but if everything is already provided ('behind the scenes' - embedded IN the .cls)
+% then this is less work for authors and also makes everything appear 'vanilla'.
+% NOTE: all 'patchwork accenting" has been commented out (here) and is no longer 'used' in the sample .tex file (either).
+% Gerry June 2007
+%
+% Patch for accenting in conference name/location. Gerry May 3rd. 2007
+% Rule widths changed to .5, author count (>6) fixed, roll-back for Type 3 problem. Gerry March 20th. 2007
+% Changes made to 'modernize' the fontnames but esp. for MikTeX users V2.4/2.5 - Nov. 30th. 2006
+% Updated the \email definition to allow for its use inside of 'shared affiliations' - Nov. 30th. 2006
+% Fixed the 'section number depth value' - Nov. 30th. 2006
+%
+% Footnotes inside table cells using \minipage (Oct. 2002)
+% Georgia fixed bug in sub-sub-section numbering in paragraphs (July 29th. 2002)
+% JS/GM fix to vertical spacing before Proofs (July 30th. 2002)
+%
+% Made the Permission Statement / Conference Info / Copyright Info
+% 'user definable' in the source .tex file OR automatic if
+% not specified.
+%
+% Allowance made to switch default fonts between those systems using
+% normal/modern font names and those using 'Type 1' or 'Truetype' fonts.
+% See LINE NUMBER 255 for details.
+% Also provided for enumerated/annotated Corollaries 'surrounded' by
+% enumerated Theorems (line 848).

+% SIG-ALTERNATE DOCUMENT STYLE
+% G.K.M. Tobin August-October 1999
+%    adapted from ARTICLE document style by Ken Traub, Olin Shivers
+%    also using elements of esub2acm.cls
+% HEAVILY MODIFIED, SUBSEQUENTLY, BY GERRY MURRAY 2000
+% ARTICLE DOCUMENT STYLE -- Released 16 March 1988
+%    for LaTeX version 2.09
+% Copyright (C) 1988 by Leslie Lamport
+%
+%
+%%% sig-alternate.cls is an 'ALTERNATE' document style for producing
+%%% two-column camera-ready pages for ACM conferences.
+%%% THIS FILE DOES NOT STRICTLY ADHERE TO THE SIGS (BOARD-ENDORSED)
+%%% PROCEEDINGS STYLE. It has been designed to produce a 'tighter'
+%%% paper in response to concerns over page budgets.
+%%% The main features of this style are:
+%%%
+%%% 1)  Two columns.
+%%% 2)  Side and top margins of 4.5pc, bottom margin of 6pc, column gutter of
+%%%     2pc, hence columns are 20pc wide and 55.5pc tall.  (6pc =3D 1in, approx)
+%%% 3)  First page has title information, and an extra 6pc of space at the
+%%%     bottom of the first column for the ACM copyright notice.
+%%% 4)  Text is 9pt on 10pt baselines; titles (except main) are 9pt bold.
+%%%
+%%%
+%%% There are a few restrictions you must observe:
+%%%
+%%% 1)  You cannot change the font size; ACM wants you to use 9pt.
+%%% 3)  You must start your paper with the \maketitle command.  Prior to the
+%%%     \maketitle you must have \title and \author commands.  If you have a
+%%%     \date command it will be ignored; no date appears on the paper, since
+%%%     the proceedings will have a date on the front cover.
+%%% 4)  Marginal paragraphs, tables of contents, lists of figures and tables,
+%%%     and page headings are all forbidden.
+%%% 5)  The `figure' environment will produce a figure one column wide; if you
+%%%     want one that is two columns wide, use `figure*'.
+%%%
+%
+%%% Copyright Space:
+%%% This style automatically reserves 1" blank space at the bottom of page 1/
+%%% column 1.  This space can optionally be filled with some text using the
+%%% \toappear{...} command.  If used, this command must be BEFORE the \maketitle
+%%% command.  If this command is defined AND [preprint] is on, then the
+%%% space is filled with the {...} text (at the bottom); otherwise, it is
+%%% blank.  If you use \toappearbox{...} instead of \toappear{...} then a
+%%% box will be drawn around the text (if [preprint] is on).
+%%%
+%%% A typical usage looks like this:
+%%%     \toappear{To appear in the Ninth AES Conference on Medievil Lithuanian
+%%%               Embalming Technique, June 1991, Alfaretta, Georgia.}
+%%% This will be included in the preprint, and left out of the conference
+%%% version.
+%%%
+%%% WARNING:
+%%% Some dvi-ps converters heuristically allow chars to drift from their
+%%% true positions a few pixels. This may be noticeable with the 9pt sans-serif
+%%% bold font used for section headers.
+%%% You may turn this hackery off via the -e option:
+%%%     dvips -e 0 foo.dvi >foo.ps
+%%%

+% The following section (i.e. 3 .sty inclusions) was added in May 2007 so as to fix the problems that many
+% authors were having with accents. Sometimes accents would occur, but the letter-character would be of a different
+% font. Conversely the letter-character font would be correct but, e.g. a 'bar' would appear superimposed on the
+% character instead of, say, an unlaut/diaresis. Sometimes the letter-character would NOT appear at all.
+% Using [T1]{fontenc} outright was not an option as this caused 99% of the authors to 'produce' a Type-3 (bitmapped)
+% PDF file - useless for production. 
+%
+% For proper (font) accenting we NEED these packages to be part of the .cls file i.e. 'ae', 'aecompl' and 'aeguil'

+%% This is file `aeguill.sty' 
+% This file gives french guillemets (and not guillemots!)
+% built with the Polish CMR fonts (default), WNCYR fonts, the LASY fonts 
+% or with the EC fonts. 
+% This is useful in conjunction with the ae package
+% (this package loads the ae package in case it has not been loaded)
+%  and with or without the french(le) package.
+%
+% In order to get the guillemets, it is necessary to either type
+% \guillemotleft and \guillemotright, or to use an 8 bit encoding
+% (such as ISO-Latin1) which selects these two commands, 
+% or, if you use the french package (but not the frenchle package), 
+% to type << or >>.
+%
+% By default, you get the Polish CMR guillemets; if this package is loaded
+% with the `cm' option, you get the LASY guillemets; with `ec,' you
+% get the EC guillemets, and with `cyr,' you get the cyrillic guillemets.
+%
+% In verbatim mode, you always get the EC/TT guillemets.
+%
+% The default option is interesting in conjunction with PDF,
+% because there is a Type 1 version of the Polish CMR fonts
+% and these guillemets are very close in shape to the EC guillemets.
+% There are no free Type 1 versions of the EC fonts.
+%
+% Support for Polish CMR guillemets was kindly provided by 
+% Rolf Niepraschk <niepraschk@ptb.de> in version 0.99 (2000/05/22).

 \section{Customer perspective}
 
-In Taler, customers use a {\em wallet} to withdraw (Figure
-~\ref{fig:taler-withdraw}), hold, and spend (Figure~\ref{fig:taler-pay})
-coins.  Withdrawing coins requires the customer to authenticate
-and to optionally authorize the specific transaction.

+In Taler, customers use a {\em wallet} to withdraw, hold, and spend coins.
+Withdrawing coins requires the customer to authenticate and to optionally
+authorize the specific transaction, e.g. via a PIN/TAN method as commonly used
+by banks.  Afterwards, the customer can anonymously spend his coins by visiting
+merchants without having to authenticate for each transaction.
+
+The wallet is implemented as a cross-platform browser extension.  All
+cryptographic operations and access to sensitive data are executed in a
+component that is isolated from websites the user visits.
+
+By necessity, the wallet leaks one bit of information to websites that the user
+visits, namely whether the wallet is installed and activated by the user.
+Websites cannot access the customer's balance or purchase history.  This
+however also means that all cryptographic tokens of value are kept locally, and
+the customer is responsible for not losing them.  Future versions of the wallet
+will provide encrypted backups and synchronization between the wallets of a
+user.
+
+A common activity for online content is sharing and bookmarking.
+Taler specifically provides support to make this easy for the user.
+A resource that was purchased is identified by a unique \emph{fulfillment URL}

+Should the session state that allows the user to access the content be lost,

+user's wallet.  Replaying a contract is only allowed from the domain that the
+contract originated from, and thus does not allow arbitrary websites to obtain
+information about previous purchases that the customer made.  Sharing the
+fulfillment URL with a user that did not pay for the associated digital
+contract will result in the expected behavior, namely that they receiving a new

+
+The case where a user already payed for a resource and then visits
+the resource URL (instead of the fulfillment URL) after losing temporary
+session state is also handled correctly, since the wallet component will
+look for contracts that refer to the same resource.
+
+While Taler is designed to work well with digital resources on the web,
+it can also be used for more traditional purchases.  The resource that
+is being payed for then represents the shopping cart of items that
+are being purchased.
