Abstract

Any central bank digital currency (CBDC), regardless of the specific architecture and design, should fulfil the following three essential requirements: (a) the CBDC is protected against counterfeiting, and any counterfeits are irrefutably verifiable; (b) payments with CBDC maintain privacy without facilitating criminal activity; (c) CBDC withdrawals and payments can be made with a smartphone, and the smartphone application conforms to current smartphone and network capabilities as well as user interface paradigms. In this paper, we provide explanations, justifications and details of the three requirements.
