CHVote Electronic Voting System Faces Security Flaws

/ 1 min read

🗳️🔍 CHVote electronic voting system fails to ensure vote secrecy and verifiability. A recent analysis of CHVote, one of Switzerland’s primary electronic voting systems, reveals significant security flaws that undermine its claims of vote secrecy and individual verifiability. The study identified nine distinct attacks against CHVote, including two stemming from a bug in its reference implementation. These vulnerabilities suggest that if any online component is compromised, the integrity of the voting process is at risk. The researchers validated their findings through a proof-of-concept implementation, raising concerns about the reliability of electronic voting in Swiss political elections.
