[Taler] GNU Taler for E-money research case study & Clone Taler's git repositories

[Andy Primawan]

Hi!

I am Andy from Indonesia. 

Now I am doing research about electronic money, to evaluate security of electronic money using Common Criteria (ISO/IEC 15408).

Googling, and then I found GNU Taler project. I think it is an awesome e-money project (yes, GNU Taler's design is awesome). 

(I have send an email to Mr. Grothoff, but I forgot to write a questions [silly me])

So I am interested to pick GNU Taler as a case study for my thesis research.

It is about develop:

1. risk management thins (risk scenario, attack-tree, risk mitigation, etc)
2. Protection Profile document (based on Common Criteria) for 3 type of e-money (coin type, balance type, cheque type)
   
3. Security Target document (based on Common Criteria) for GNU Taler
   

My senior (PhD student) and I was wondering, "Is there formally written scheme / crypto specification / algorithm of this project?" . . .

And I have checked:

http://api.taler.net/

but that web site only contain technical implementation documentation such as restful API, etc.

So, my questions are:

1. is a formally written scheme / crypto specification / risk management things document / algorithm implemented for GNU Taler exists?
   
2. how to clone GNU Taler's repositories from git.taler.net?   :(

I tried:

​​

$ git clone address@hidden:/projects/api.git
Cloning into 'api'...
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

and:

$ git clone ssh://address@hidden/project/api.git
Cloning into 'api'...
ssh: Could not resolve hostname git.talers.net: Name or service not known
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

but no luck yet.

Thanks!

PS:

honestly as a programmer, I heavily use hosted remote git such as GitHub and Bitbucket.

Just git clone <copied ssh URL from repo page>.

But it is first time clone from GNU. Silly me :)
