Subject: Summary of EU and Trusted Logic Processing
Just reviewing what I posted earlier - I realized I covered off the frontend of the processing - but needed to call-out explicitly the need for counting-side ramifications too. So - referencing the EU requirements: http://www.coe.int/T/e/integrated_projects/democracy/02_Activities/02_e-voting/01_Recommendation/default.asp#TopOfPage We need to add 7 points: 1) Explicit reference to the importance of using write-once media for vote logging - either paper or digital. 2) Need for voters to be able to physically verify their vote directly - not in-directly - via paper ballot or equivalent physical representation of an actual ballot - not an electronic ephemeral representation, and to cast that physical representation by hand. 3) Need to separate the layers of the process - so the same component provider is not doing all vote creating, printing, and counting the total votes (no single source provider). 4) Need to use two party process and trusted logic principle so that the voter can verify that the digital voting choice recorded by their interaction with the first party process matches the physical voting choice they selected and confirmed to them by the second, separate, party to the process. A physical representation of the vote should result from this process that the voter can directly verify. 5) Need to compare 100% of all counts - electronic and physical ballot counts and electoral record counts to ensure they tally. (Partial auditing will not reveal the required level of support of detection of errors). 6) Explicit call-out of the need to avoid sequential processing information compromising vote privacy and anonymonity. 7) Explicitly call-out that counts should be tallied independently for each of the sources - electoral roll, eVote selections, print details, and paper ballot counts (after scanning) - and not have one single piece of software that reconciles them all.
