In Estonian Parliamentary elections held in 2011, the percentage of Internet voters among all the voters was as high as 24.3%. At the same time a student implemented a proof-of-concept malware which demonstrated the effective disenfranchisement of the voter from the right to vote. The chapter gives an overview of risk assessment and threat modeling of Estonian Internet voting after the events of 2011. The chapter presents a classification of attacks against the voting method, distinguishing between manipulation attacks, revocation attacks and attacks towards public confidence.
