Electronic Voting
From small pilots to nation wide adoption Electronic Voting is
appearing all over the world. However, there is no consensus about
the benefits and dangers of electronic voting, namely among machine
vendors and university researchers. This presentation on electronic
voting is divided into two parts. First, we will introduce the main
research fields of cryptographic electronic voting protocols that
emerge over the last 25 years. Then, we will present the work we
have been developing at the Distributed Systems Group of INESC-ID
for the last 5 years, namely we will present the REVS voting system
and the CodeVoting technique that aims to provide protection
against automatic vote manipulation in uncontrolled environments,
e.g. remote voting from home.
This seminar will be held in the Alameda campus!
