Third International Conference on E-voting and Identity, Tallinn, Estonia
29 September 2011 - 29 September 2011
Estonia
The Third International Conference on E-voting and Identity will take place from 29 to 30 September 2011 in Tallinn, Estonia.
Electronic voting (e-voting) is a term encompassing several different types of voting, embracing both electronic means of casting a vote and electronic means of counting votes. E-voting is an active research area covering a broad range of issues, from computer security and cryptographic issues to human psychology and legal issues.
E-voting has seen its share of praise and controversy. Criticisms have included problems with operating code or hardware and security lapses. On the positive side, benefits can include reduced tabulation times and an increase of participation and voter turnout.
The aim of this conference will be to bring together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and governmental institutions. The scope covers all aspects of electronic voting systems, including:
- design and evaluation of e-voting systems;
- voting theories incl. social choice theory;
- security requirements and formal analysis of e-voting systems;
- the role of identification in e-voting;
- the role of identity management systems for e-voting;
- cryptographic voting schemes;
- further methods for reconciling voter identification with vote anonymity;
- usability and accessibility issues;
- deployment and lifecycle concerns for e-voting systems;
- implementation issues and trade-offs;
- interdisciplinary issues in e-voting and identification.For further information, please visit: http://research.cyber.ee/~lipmaa/voteid2011/cfp.php(opens in new window)
