Fw: Online Voting Protection Profile

[John Borras <johnaborras@yahoo.co.uk>]

Please see the information below about a new Protection Profile required in Germany for online voting.   Any thoughts on the impact of this on EML or should we just flag it on our Wiki for information?

Hi John,

I saw on the Heise newsticker that the German IT security office (BSI) certified according to common critera a protection profile for online voting. Both the ticker message and the official documentation by the BSI are in German, but if you think it is relevant to your work on electronic voting then someone on your TC may be able to check it out.

The links are:

 * Protection Profile http://www.bsi.bund.de/zertifiz/zert/reporte/pp0037b.pdf

Regards

Christoph
