-<h1>2021-7: &quot;Comment émettre une monnaie numérique de banque 
centrale&quot; disponible</h1>
+<h1>2021-07: Code Blau GmbH deploys first external Taler auditor</h1>
 <p>
-Nous sommes heureux de vous annoncer la publication de notre article sur 
&quot;Comment émettre une monnaie numérique de banque centrale&quot; par le <a 
href="https://snb.ch/";>Banque nationale suisse</a>.
+  We received a grant from <a href="https://nlnet.nl/";>NLnet
+  foundation</a> with the goal to qualify <a href="https://codeblau.de/";>Code 
Blau</a> GmbH
+  to act as an external auditor for GNU Taler.
+  To do this, we created a <a 
href="https://docs.taler.net/taler-auditor-manual.html";>guide</a>
+  that describes how to deploy a Taler auditor and then practiced the
+  steps using the existing Taler exchange deployment at <a 
href="https://bfh.ch/";>BFH</a>.
+  Code Blau wrote a <a 
href="https://taler.net/papers/taler-auditor-setup-202108.pdf";>report</a>
+  detailing all the steps taken. Finally, we have created a
+  <a href="https://taler.net/papers/codeblau-bank.pdf";>draft</a> of
+  the kind of business agreement that Code Blau would enter with banks
+  operating the Taler payment system.
+  We thank CodeBlau for their work, and NLnet and the European
+  Commission's Horizion 2020 <a href="https://www.ngi.eu/";>NGI initiative</a>
+  for funding this work.

-Avec l’émergence du Bitcoin et des cryptomonnaies stables des géants du web
-(comme le Diem, anciennement Libra), les banques centrales doivent faire face
-à une concurrence accrue des acteurs privés qui développent leur propre
-solution numérique en vue de contourner les espèces. Nous ne nous penchons pas
-sur la question normative de savoir si les banques centrales devraient émettre
-une monnaie numérique de banque centrale (MNBC).  Nous contribuons au débat
-actuel de la recherche en montrant comment une banque centrale pourrait
-réaliser un tel projet si elle le souhaitait.  Nous proposons un système par
-jetons, sans registre distribué, et montrons comment les monnaies
-électroniques purement logicielles émises par le passé peuvent être améliorées
-pour préserver la confidentialité des transactions, répondre aux critères
-réglementaires et offrir une protection de niveau post-quantique contre les
-risques systémiques pour la protection de la vie privée. Ni la politique
-monétaire ni la stabilité financière ne seraient réellement affectées par ce
-système puisque la MNBC imiterait les espèces plutôt que les dépôts bancaires.
