+\section*{Meeting 20.02.2020}
 Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
-\subsection{Reflection}
+\subsection*{Reflection}
 It was the first meeting of the Bachelor's thesis. The main focus lied on the 
planing of the project and discussing the next steps. 
 The conclusion was there is alot of work to do and we need to focus from the 
beginning.
-\subsection{Next Steps}
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
 The next meeting will be at the 27.2. Until this meeting drafts of several 
project documents should be completed. Task schedule, project document, work 
journal, business plan, abstract, motivation. Additionaly a draft for the 
BRIDGE funding proposal should be written.
+
+\section*{Meeting 27.02.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+The main topic of the meeting was the BRIDGE proposal which is due at the 9th 
of March. Additionaly we discussed the documents and plan we created.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+The next steps are the completion of the BRIDGE proposal.
+
+\section*{Meeting 05.03.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+In this meeting the main topic was the finalization of the BRIDGE proposal. We 
also discussed the related work and Business model of Anastasis. 
+Through the extensive work on the BRIDGE proposal the development has not 
continued very fast. But we already could write key parts for the Bachelor 
thesis.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Next is the completion and delivery of the BRIDGE proposal.
+
+\section*{Meeting 12.03.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+The BRIDGE proposal was sent and we can now focus on the development. We did 
not estimate that the proposal would be this time consuming. We are now a bit 
behind our task schedule.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Completion of the Anastasis Client API tests and start of the implementation 
of the crypto library.
+
+\section*{Meeting 19.03.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+We ran into problems while testing the Anastasis client API, the development 
is slow at the moment because the bugfixing takes a lot of time.
+We also have made some design mistakes in the crypto API which needed to be 
fixed.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Completion of the Anastasis Client API tests and continue on the 
implementation of the crypto library.
+
+\section*{Meeting 26.03.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+We ran into alot of problems and decided to make more frequent meetings. We 
need to fix some design issues, the imports
+of the different files are done wrong. Additionaly we need to be more clear 
with the names. 
+We need to focus more on the implementation and be more precise with the 
documentation.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Implementation of the Crypto library, fix issues mentioned.
+
+\section*{Meeting 30.03.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+We could fix the issues from the last meetings and are now in the development 
of the crypto library. 
+We had some problems with pointers which we could discuss and fix. We are 
happy that we can see progress.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Implementation of the Crypto libarary, finishing API.
+
+\section*{Meeting 02.04.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+Dennis is still fixing issues with the API communication, the process is very 
time consuming and 
+we are pretty behind. Dominik was sick for some days and was not able to work 
for the project. We are now
+pretty behind our task schedule and need to work harder.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Implementation of the Crypto libarary, finishing API.
+
+\section*{Meeting 06.04.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+We could finaly fix the API's and can now focus on the planned components. We 
also found some bugs in payment
+process we need to fix.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Implementation Crypto library and testing
+
+\section*{Meeting 09.04.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+We found some errors in our specification regarding the Key Shares. We are 
currently still in the development of
+Crypto library tests. The development is very slow because we have some 
problems with the pointers in C.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Implementation Crypto library tests, work on anastasis client
+
+\section*{Meeting 13.04.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+We are still in the development of the Crypto library tests. The problems are 
mostly the handling of
+the data. We had some problems with the datatypes and the conversions.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Implementation Crypto library testing, work on the anastasis client.
+
+\section*{Meeting 16.04.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+We could not finish the crypto library jet and had problems with the json 
objects we need to
+handle inside the crypto library. The development of the anastasis client is 
also slow, since
+it is a very complex part which needs to integrate all other components.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Finish Crypto library testing, implementation anastasis client
+
+\section*{Meeting 24.04.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+We still have some bugs in the crypto library. We should focus that the 
application
+is not crashing if something unexpected happens, the application should 
continue. 
+Additionaly there were some security issues in the code we need to fix. 
+The development of this component is very complex and needs a lot of time, we
+hope that we soon can finish the crypto library. Also the development of the 
Anastasis
+client is finished we can now start with the testing.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Finish Crypto library testing, implementation anastasis client tests
+
+\section*{Meeting 27.04.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+After some final optimization the crypto library of anastasis is finished. We 
can now focus
+on the tests of the client api. This will show if the whole flow of the 
application works as
+intended.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Implementation anastasis client tests
+
+\section*{Meeting 30.04.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+The testing of the anastasis client api is progressing slowly. We could find 
alot of bugs
+in the other components we were not able to see with our previous testing. We 
needed to
+fix some of the protocol flows. We hope that we can finish the client as soon 
as possible 
+since we also need to implement the authentication procedure and the command 
line application.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Implementation anastasis client tests and start working on the authentication 
backend
+
+\section*{Meeting 04.05.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+We continued the work on the anastasis client api and the authentication 
backend,
+we still found problems in the other components.
+To finish the anastasis client we will need the authentication backend. So we 
decided to implement the most the
+most basic authentication, secure question.  
+We also still have some issues with our naming conventions which are not 
always clear.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Finish implementation anastasis client tests and authentication backend
+
+\section*{Meeting 07.05.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+We could finish the authentication backend and now need to implement the 
client logic for the authentication.
+We also need to finish the client tests. We have roughly one month left to 
finish the project, we started to 
+think that we can't develop a complex authentication method. We planned that 
we first will finish the rest
+and afterwards look if we have time to implement a different authentication 
method.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Finish client api and tests
+
+\section*{Meeting 11.05.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+In the last couple days we could make good progress we managed to nearly 
finish the anastasis client api tests.
+For the most part the components are working. We think that we can finish this 
project within the time without the
+complex authentication method.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Finish client api and tests
+
+\section*{Meeting 14.05.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+Something unexpected happened this week. We applied for funding last semester 
and were rejected. 
+But we were informed that we can still present our work. Therefore we have to 
prepare a business 
+pitch in the next few days. This will be quite stressfull since we are also 
behind in our development.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Prepare business pitch and finish client api
+
+\section*{Meeting 18.05.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+The last couple of days were quite stressfull but we manged to complete the 
Anastasis client tests. This
+means our application flow is working. This is a huge relief. We also have to 
finish the business pitch which is held
+tomorow.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Finish business pitch, start developing Anastasis CLI, write bachelor book, 
create bachelor poster
+
+\section*{Meeting 21.05.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+The development of the Anastasis CLI went very fast, since all the other 
components are working correctly.
+The Anastsis splitter and assembler are nearly finished. We also created the 
bachelor book article and the poster.
+Both of these still need some adjustments.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Finish Anastasis splitter and assembler, start to finish documentation, fix 
book and poster
+
+\section*{Meeting 28.05.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+We nearly could finish the Anastasis CLI and can now start to focus on the 
documentation.
+We already have a lot of documentation available which needs to be put 
togheter in one document. We also succeded in the
+proposal we sent, we are very happy that we can continue our work on Anastasis 
after the thesis.
+Additionaly the Book and the poster are finished and we could deliver them.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Work on documentation 
+
+\section*{Meeting 01.06.2020}
+Present at the Meeting were:"Dominik Meister, Dennis Neufeld and Christian 
Grothoff".
+\subsection*{Reflection}
+We mainly discussed what still needs to be done in the Anastasis 
documentation. We discovered that the related work
+has not enough details and needs some more work. Also in the business model 
were some small problems. The work on 
+the documentation progresses very quick, it also has to since we dont have 
much time left.
+\subsection*{Next Steps}
+Work on documentation

 \section{Project management}
+This section describes the project planing of Anastasis. A detailed reflection 
on the work on Anastasis is in the work journal in the appendix.
+\subsection{Project plan}
+The following graphic shows our project plan how we planed to implement 
Anastasis and write our bachelor thesis.

+\subsection{Project plan reflection}
+This table shows a comparison between the planned time to finish and the 
actual time used. \\ 
+
+insert table \\ 
+
+
+As we can see the development in general took way longer than expected. This
+was caused by several problems within the development. The biggest problem was 
that we had too many problems with the C language exspecially with pointers. 
Another very difficult part was the integration of the GNU Taler System, also 
the system is in active development which means we often had to adjust our 
system.
+Another part we underestimated was the time needed to write the funding 
proposals.
+Additionaly an unexpected offer occured within our thesis. We applied for 
funding last semester and were rejected. But we were informed that we still can 
present our work. Therefore we had to prepare a presentation for this business 
pitch, which also took some unplaned time.
+Because of these reasons we could not implement a complex authentication 
method within Anastasis.
+\subsection{Conclusion}
+As mentioned above we couldnt successfully develop all the required parts of 
the application. We think in the future we need to take our own knowledge more 
into consideration if we plan the next project. We underestimated the 
complexity of certain parts of the application. Additionaly i think we also 
need to improve on proper development and try to be more clear with our naming 
conventions.
