Subject: [election-services] Quick Update from EML Lightning Round Talk at OASIS Symposium 2007
Hi All,
I gave the E&VS TC's Lightning Round talk this past Monday at the
OASIS symposium 2007. The talk went well and I got a light laugh out
of one line ("While elections might not seem as complicated as say,
control systems protocols [a talk before me], you'd be surprised at
some of the challenges we have.").
Unfortunately, I couldn't stay for the reception... but I did get some
interest from Arshad Noor of StrongAuth, Inc. (he's Chair or Co-Chair
of a new PKI-ish TC, I believe). He seemed interested in standards
for cryptographic voting... I told him we should have coffee sometime,
considering the nascent state of crypto in voting right now.
best, Joe
