- KonferenzbeitragSecurity as belief user's perceptions on the security of electronic voting systems(Electronic voting in Europe - Technology, law, politics and society, workshop of the ESF TED programme together with GI and OCG, 2004) Oostveen, Anne-Marie; Besselaar, Peter van denIn this paper a pilot e-voting system is being studied to gain insight into the complexity of IT security issues. The current debate about whether or not electronic voting systems need to have a verifiable paper audit trail provides the context of the paper. According to many researchers a voter-verified paper trail is the only way voters can have confidence that their vote has been recorded correctly. However, technologists start to acknowledge that security mechanisms are fundamental social mechanisms. Trust is of great importance; people no longer have a blind faith in scientific objectivity and the "experts". We examine the opinions of users involved in the testing of the TruE-Vote e-voting system, in particular concerning issues like security, verifiability and trust. The results do indeed suggest that IT security is more than just a technological issue.
- KonferenzbeitragE-voting and biometric systems?(Electronic voting in Europe - Technology, law, politics and society, workshop of the ESF TED programme together with GI and OCG, 2004) Hof, SonjaAs e-Voting gains more importance while practicable solutions are being implemented, more questions arise concerning alternative possibilities for a secure and feasible authentication. The specific peculiarities of secure authentication to a system are various and for a sensitive area like e-Voting also challenging. In this paper we evaluate biometric systems in order to prove their capabilities for e-Voting systems.
- KonferenzbeitragTowards remote e-voting: Estonian case(Electronic voting in Europe - Technology, law, politics and society, workshop of the ESF TED programme together with GI and OCG, 2004) Maaten, EppThis paper gives an overview about the Estonian e-voting system. Paper discusses how the concept of e-voting system is designed to resist some of the main challenges of remote e-voting: secure voters authentication, assurance of privacy of voters, giving the possibility of re-vote, and how an e-voting system can be made comprehensible to build the public trust.
- KonferenzbeitragE-voting: Switzerland's projects and their legal framework – in a European context(Electronic voting in Europe - Technology, law, politics and society, workshop of the ESF TED programme together with GI and OCG, 2004) Braun, NadjaFirstly, the reader is introduced to the Swiss political system, which can be described as a federalist state with direct democracy. Secondly, the Swiss e-voting pilot projects will be presented, against the background of the political system. Switzerland runs three pilot projects in order to test the feasibility of e- voting. In a third part the legal framework of e-voting in Switzerland is highlighted. In a fourth part the work of the Council of Europe is addressed. A last part contains Recommendations to the Swiss legislator. Today, the legal scheme allows for pilot projects. Should e-voting be introduced in Switzerland, the legal basis has to be adapted, taking into account the experience acquired through the pilot projects, and the Council of Europe's Recommendation on e-voting.
- KonferenzbeitragRemote e-voting and coercion: a risk-assessment model and solutions(Electronic voting in Europe - Technology, law, politics and society, workshop of the ESF TED programme together with GI and OCG, 2004) Acker, Bernard vanThis paper, useful to anyone who has to address the public and representatives of the world of politics, focuses on the specific topic of resistance to vote-coercion. By using a model, we want to illustrate the implicit – and possibly realistic – assumption that vote-buying is not profitable or doable in current conditions. But these assumptions do not necessarily hold good in all environments. For those environments, recent – mainly cryptographic – publications show that coercion-resistant remote e-voting schemes are indeed possible.
- KonferenzbeitragE-voting: International developments and lessons learnt(Electronic voting in Europe - Technology, law, politics and society, workshop of the ESF TED programme together with GI and OCG, 2004) Buchsbaum, Thomas M.Countries worldwide are carrying growing interest in e-voting. The paper gives a brief overview on recent developments. The countries are joined in their interest by industry and international organisations. All three groups of actors - and individual actors within each group - have different and sometimes diverging reasons for their interest, and thus different goals. The paper focuses on remote / i[nternet]-voting. Member states of the Council of Europe (CoE) are in their final phase of standard-setting on e-voting. The paper provides a preview on a possible CoE recommendation. As the number of e-voting tests is growing, so are the lessons learnt. The paper contains a list of suggestions on ways how best to introduce (remote) e-voting.
- KonferenzbeitragE-democracy in E-Austria(Electronic voting in Europe - Technology, law, politics and society, workshop of the ESF TED programme together with GI and OCG, 2004) Rupp, ChristianChristian Rupp has been appointed Federal Executive Secretary of E- Government in May of 2003. At that point of time a new E-Government Platform was introduced. He reports on the current developments of E-Democracy in Austria.
- KonferenzbeitragThe dimensions of electronic voting – Technology, law, politics and society(Electronic voting in Europe - Technology, law, politics and society, workshop of the ESF TED programme together with GI and OCG, 2004) Prosser, Alexander; Krimmer, RobertSince the Internet boom in the 1990's the question has arisen, will it be possible to vote via the Internet one day. In many European countries and around the world initiatives of research institutions, private organisations and governments have tried to provide an electronic solution to this key democratic process. As many projects there are, as many different strategies lie behind that. Based on similar studies out of the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, this article develops a register of criteria to assess and compare different E-Voting initiatives on national and project level using four key dimensions: Technology, Law, Politics and Society.
- KonferenzbeitragSecurity assets in E-voting(Electronic voting in Europe - Technology, law, politics and society, workshop of the ESF TED programme together with GI and OCG, 2004) Prosser, Alexander; Kofler, Robert; Krimmer, Robert; Unger, Martin KarlAs discussed in the literature [PrMü01; Rub04; Phi02] e-voting faces a lot of threats. The purpose of this paper is to give a systematically ordered overview of attacks against e-voting and to show one solution to the issues. The challenge is to provide identification and anonymity at the same time and to exclude the possibility of fraudulent manipulations by the server administration, the voter, and any third party.
