 \section{Motivation}
 To be able to donate to a charity and deduct that donation from taxes, it is 
often required to provide evidence. The donor would have to present said 
evidence in form of a donation receipt which would include information about 
both the donor and charity. The donor may want to keep this information private 
and only provide a receipt that proves that a certain amount was indeed donated 
to a recognized charity.
 
-Tax authorities may be used to verify donations manually which can be time 
consuming, involving a disproportionate amount of effort for the tax 
authorities. The donor on the other side has to keep track of the donation 
receipt which may get lost.
+%privacy
+There are many reasons why such information can be sensitive and should be 
hidden from third parties. Both personally and politically this information 
could be harmful to individuals if not handeled responsably. It is best to 
reduce and anonymize this information as much as possible, while still having 
all the necessary information to verify donations and prevent illegal practices.

receipt which may get lost.
+
+%standardisation
+Problems arise when donating to foreign countries due to the lack of 
standardisation of donations. Charities that are recognized in one country are 
not necessarly recognized as such in another country. Donations made to a 
charity abroad which is not recognized by one's own country are thus not 
elegable for tax reduction.

 \section{Scope}
-As part of the project the Donau protocol was formulated and the Donau REST 
Api, backend and the corresponding client were implemented. Furthermore an 
android app for the verication process was developed.
-Out of scope was the charity part which would have been integrated into the 
Taler merchant and the donor implementation which would have been integrated 
into the Taler wallet. Unlike the charity integration, the donor part of the 
taler wallet is payment system dependent. In other words, since the taler 
wallet can only make donations with the taler payment system, it could only 
receive donation receipts for this. The administrator interface was also out of 
scope. It would be there to prov [...]
+We developped and implemented the Donau REST API with its backend. Tests where 
written to check the endpoints for errors. Throughout the project we documented 
both the code and specifications. To demonstrate the Donau we developped an 
android application that can verify donations.
