E-voting And Identity: First International Conference, Vote-id 2007, Bochum, Germany, October 4-5, 2007, Revised Selected Papers (lecture Notes In Computer Science)

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post proceedings of the First International Conference on E-Voting and Identity, VOTE-ID 2007, held in Bochum, Germany in October 2007. The 16 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections that include remote electronic voting, evaluation of electronic voting systems, and electronic voting in different countries. The sections also cover e-voting and trust, improvements/extensions of existing approaches, and code voting. Voting and identity have a very delicate relationship. Only a few processes - pendsomuchonanidentitymanagementrespectingthe?nelinebetweenreliable identi?cation and reliable non-identi?ability each at its part during the process. And only a few processes may change their outer appearance so much with the advent of new IT as voting and identity management do. So it was no surprise in FIDIS, the interdisciplinary Network of Excellence working on the Future of Identity in the Information Society, when Ammar Alkassarproposedanalyzethetechnical,socio-ethicalandlegalrelationsbetween Identity and E-Voting as part of Sirrix's activity in FIDIS. There are many reasons for doing this, e. g. , the open question of the imp- cations of identity and identi?cation to the emerging ?eld of E-Government and E-Democracy, especially E-Voting. Issues to be discussed are from several - mains, e. g. , is identity fraud a crucial matter in E-Voting? What is the trade-o? between anonymity and free speech vs. content-related o?ences? Is it approp- ate to use ID cards or health-insurance cards with digital identities for citizen tasks or voting? What about using SIM cards? Can we employ biometrics for identi?cation purposes with respect to E-Democracy? Last but not least nearly all areas of E-Government rely on a reliable link between the citizens and their governments and administrations. However, in contrast to business processes, the e?ects are much more crucial: Identity fraud may cause more problems than in the business domain; the consequences of misuse cannot be measured just by ?nancial means Content: Front Matter....Pages - The Development of Remote E-Voting Around the World: A Review of Roads and Directions....Pages 1-15 Remote Voting Schemes: A Comparative Analysis....Pages 16-28 Internet-Voting: Opportunity or Threat for Democracy?....Pages 29-37 Assessing Procedural Risks and Threats in e-Voting: Challenges and an Approach....Pages 38-49 Compliance of RIES to the Proposed e-Voting Protection Profile....Pages 50-61 Compliance of POLYAS with the BSI Protection Profile – Basic Requirements for Remote Electronic Voting Systems....Pages 62-75 Electronic Voting in Belgium: Past and Future....Pages 76-87 The Digital Voting Pen at the Hamburg Elections 2008: Electronic Voting Closest to Conventional Voting....Pages 88-98 The Security Analysis of e-Voting in Japan....Pages 99-110 Bingo Voting: Secure and Coercion-Free Voting Using a Trusted Random Number Generator....Pages 111-124 Enhancing the Trust and Perceived Security in e-Cognocracy....Pages 125-136 Simulation-Based Analysis of E2E Voting Systems ....Pages 137-149 A Simple Technique for Safely Using Punchscan and Prêt � Voter in Mail-In Elections....Pages 150-155 Threat Analysis of a Practical Voting Scheme with Receipts....Pages 156-165 Secure Internet Voting with Code Sheets....Pages 166-177 CodeVoting Protection Against Automatic Vote Manipulation in an Uncontrolled Environment....Pages 178-188 Back Matter....Pages - This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post proceedings of the First International Conference on E-Voting and Identity, VOTE-ID 2007, held in Bochum, Germany in October 2007.
