meanwhile there was another LWN article: Cryptography and elections https://lwn.net/Articles/810465/ By Jake Edge, January 28, 2020 covering an LCA talk by Vanessa Teague with the take-away: "Transparent and verifiable electronic elections are technically feasible, but for a variety of reasons, the techniques used are not actually viable for running most elections—and definitely not for remote voting." > In fact, I find it highly problematic not only in public elections, but > I also find it very problematic for any kind of democratic voting even > within "private" entities. There is a company in Germany (sorry seems to be German only) https://www.polyas.de/online-wahlen/sicherheit they claim to have a Common-Criteria certification from the German Federal Office for Information Security, number BSI-CC-PP-0037-2008 From my experience the crypto expertise by the BSI is often fine and transparent. (Disclosure: my company has won several public tenders from the BSI in the last years - only doing work on Free Software). I've never looked into this certification. Did some independent researchers take a look at Polyas' approaches already?
