EVT/WOTE ’09

I am attending the 2009 Electronic Voting Technology Workshop/Workshop on Trustworthy Elections (EVT/WOTE ’09) in Montreal, organized by David Jefferson (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory), Joseph Lorenzo Hall (University of California, Berkeley/Princeton University) and Tal Moran (Harvard University). Thus far I’ve seen a couple of very interesting presentations. Yesterday there were sessions about usability, security and election forensics; today we are listening about voting cryptography, and audits; and the workshop will close after a session of system demos. Right now I’m listening to Ariel J. Feldman (Princeton University) talk about “Subliminal Channels in Encrypt-on-Cast Voting Systems.” Later I’ll post a summary of some of the papers presented at the workshop…
