    FastPay: High-Performance Byzantine Fault Tolerant Settlement

    Get PDF
    FastPay allows a set of distributed authorities, some of which are Byzantine, to maintain a high-integrity and availability settlement system for pre-funded payments. It can be used to settle payments in a native unit of value (crypto-currency), or as a financial side-infrastructure to support retail payments in fiat currencies. FastPay is based on Byzantine Consistent Broadcast as its core primitive, foregoing the expenses of full atomic commit channels (consensus). The resulting system has low-latency for both confirmation and payment finality. Remarkably, each authority can be sharded across many machines to allow unbounded horizontal scalability. Our experiments demonstrate intra-continental confirmation latency of less than 100ms, making FastPay applicable to point of sale payments. In laboratory environments, we achieve over 80,000 transactions per second with 20 authorities---surpassing the requirements of current retail card payment networks, while significantly increasing their robustness

    Market-based Approaches to Environmental Management: A Review of Lessons from Payment for Environmental Services in Asia

    Get PDF
    Market-based approaches to environmental management, such as payment for environmental services (PES), have attracted unprecedented attention during the past decade. PES policies, in particular, have emerged to realign private and social benefits such as internalizing ecological externalities and diversifying sources of conservation funding as well as making conservation an attractive land-use paradigm. In this paper, we review several case studies from Asia on payment for environmental services to understand how landowners decide to participate in PES schemes. The analysis demonstrates the significance of four major elements facilitating the adoption and implementation of PES schemes: property rights and tenure security, transaction costs, household and community characteristics, communications, and the availability of PES-related information. PES schemes should target win-win options through intervention in these areas, aimed at maintaining the provision of ecological services and improving the conditions for local inhabitants

    Malthus Was Right After All: Poor Relief and Birth Rates in Southeastern England

    Get PDF
    The payment of child allowances to laborers with large families was widespread in early nineteenth-century England. This paper tests Thomas Malthus\u27s hypothesis that child allowances caused the birth rate to increase. A cross-sectional regression model is estimated to explain variations in birth rates across parishes in 1826-30. Birth rates are found to be related to child allowances, income, and the availability of housing, as Malthus contended. The paper concludes by examining the role played by the adoption of child allowances after 1795 in the fertility increase of the early nineteenth century

    Developments, Issues, and Initiatives in Retail Payments

    Get PDF
    Innovations in basic information technologies, in payment applications, and in the availability of global markets, as well as substantial changes in financial sector policy, have fundamentally changed how the retail payments system in Canada operates. Principally, the volume and types of electronic payments have grown, and there is increased participation by diverse groups of financial and non-financial institutions as providers of retail payment services. The resulting policy problem for payment systems is how best to benefit from efficiency gains while managing payment risks. O'Connor examines the effect of the technological and legislative changes and the initiatives developed by the public and private sectors in such areas as the market arrangements for services; customer risks and costs for settling large-value retail payments; the security of payment information and the efficiency with which it is transmitted; and the effects of differing regulatory regimes on competition among providers of retail payment services.

    Studi Literatur : Perbandingan Ssl, Set, Sep Berdasarkan End-user Implementation Requirements

    Get PDF
    Sistem pembayaran elektronik (e-payment) dianggap sebagai tulang punggung e-commerce. Agar diterima secara luas metode pembayaran di seluruh dunia, sistem e-payment harus mengikuti protokol keamanan yang efisien yang menjamin keamanan yang tinggi untuk transaksi online. Secure Socket Layer (SSL) dan Secure Electronic Transaction (SET) merupakan dua protokol yang banyak dibahas untuk mengamankan pembayaran kartu kredit online. Namun, SSL maupun SET telah gagal dalam implementasi pada pengguna akhir, sehingga munculah protokol Secure Electronic Payment (SEP) yang merupakan protokol e-payment yang aman dan efisien yang menawarkan lapisan tambahan perlindungan bagi cardholder dan merchant. Tujuan penulisan ini untuk menentukan protokol mana yang paling cocok untuk keamanan e-payment berdasarkan perbandingan pada end-user implementation requirements. Metode yang digunakan berupa studi literatur dengan melihat karya terkait yang membahas mengenai protokol SSL, SET, SEP yang selanjutnya akan dilakukan perbandingan. Hasil yang didapatkan dari perbandingan protokol keamanan e-payment SSL, SET, dan SEP berdasarkan faktor end-user implementation requirements (USAbility, flexibility, affordability, reliability, availability, interoperability) yaitu bahwa protokol SEP yang memenuhi syarat dan paling cocok untuk diterapkan dalam keamanan e-payment

    A model of check exchange

    Get PDF
    The authors construct and simulate a model of check exchange to examine the incentives a bank (or a bank clearinghouse) has to engage in practices that limit access to its payment facilities, in particular delaying the availability of check payment. The potentially disadvantaged bank has the option of directly presenting checks to the first bank. The authors find that if the retail banking market is highly competitive, the first bank will not engage in such practices, but if the retail banking market is imperfectly competitive, it will find it advantageous to restrict access to its facilities. Lower costs of direct presentment can reduce (but not eliminate) the range over which these practices are employed. The practice of delayed presentment can either reduce or increase welfare, again depending on the degree of competition in the market. The model suggests that, were the Federal Reserve System to exit the business of check processing, practices such as delayed presentment would b e more prevalent.Check collection systems ; Clearinghouses (Banking)
