crypto-*design* should just require
"any asymetric encryption scheme with a public and a private key that
allows blind signatures and
either DH-Keygen or ElGammal-Encryption".


i just realized that taler can be generalized to work with

"any asymetric encryption scheme with a public and a private key that
allows blind signatures [and encryption of course]".

without relying on DH or Elgammal explicitly.

We looked into those, and they were either outright broken, or way more
expensive or both. So after much discussion, we decided that RSA was
still the way to go.

It's great that you fixed these parameters.
IMHO that should be in a different chapter than the high-level design.
