Security Analysis of the Australian Capital Territory’s eVACS 2020/2024 Paperless Direct Recording Electronic Voting System
摘要
Electronic voting is a wicked problem: voters must only vote once, voting must be auditable, and votes must be permanently preserved—but they must also be anonymous. We examine the source code of a paperless Direct Recording Electronic voting system and find serious integrity and privacy issues. Those issues were reported to the relevant authorities and patched, but the underlying design issues remain.
