Developing a Personal Voting Machine for the Estonian Internet Voting System
Valeh Farzaliyev, Kristjan Krips, Jan Willemson · 2021
As the world's population is increasingly mobile, remote voting becomes more and more a necessity. Vote casting by paper mail is slow, expensive and error-prone. Voting over Internet, on the other hand, is a subject to a wide range of cyber attacks. One of the weakest points in current Internet voting (i-voting) schemes is the end user environment that is hard to control against both vote integrity and privacy attacks. The essence of the problem is that conventional end user devices (PC-s, mobile phones, etc.) are in some sense too powerful, being able to run malware without the voter having efficient means to detect it.
