چکیده

Remote internet voting incorporates many of the core challenges of trusted global computing. In this paper, we present the Kiezen op Afstand (KOA) system. KOA is a Free Software, remote voting system developed for the Dutch government in 2003/2004. In addition to being Open Source, it is also partially formally specified and verified. This paper summarises the work carried out to date on the KOA system. It charts the evolution of the system, from its initial conception by the Dutch Government, through to its current status. It also describes a roadmap of milestones towards completing its next release: a Free Software, general-purpose, formally specified and verified internet voting system, that incorporates Proof Carrying Code technology for software update and allows trustworthy voting from a mobile phone. We propose that the KOA system should be used as an experimental platform for research in electronic and internet voting; we are not saying that we have solved any of the major problems inherent in voting with computers.

Compliance of RIES to the Proposed e-Voting Protection Profile

The RIES-KOA e-voting system was used in the Netherlands as an additional system for the elections by expatriates for the Tweede Kamer (roughly: the Dutch House of Commons) elections in 2006. Although the system has been used in other elections in the Netherlands as well, there have been few independent evaluations of the system. In this paper, we apply the recently proposed Protection Profile ...

An improved approach for ranking the candidates in a voting system based on efficiency intervals

This paper proposes improvements and revisions to a recent approach in a voting system, and provides an effective approach with a stronger discriminate power. For this purpose, the advantage of a linear transformation is utilized to redene a previously used concept of virtual worst candidate, by incorporating the existing weight restrictions. Then, the best score of this virtual candidate is us...
