Offline payments: How does G+D Filia fare? - 0 views

John Kiff on 12 Aug 23G+D Filia is intermittently offline. Payments are instantly settled offline, with occasional online reconciliation. But most importantly: funds received offline can be spent offline (consecutive offline payments). Our token format is the same online and offline, therefore the payment protocols are similar across different kinds of wallet (e.g., online wallets hosted at banks and hardware wallets). No conversion between online or offline ledger is needed. Tokens in hardware wallets are stored in tamper-resistant Secure Elements. Each wallet is equipped with a certificate, ensuring end-to-end encryption for every payment transaction. As an additional safety net, wallets keep a record of offline operations to detect counterfeiting.
