Hello,
I've just seen following announcement on comp.os.linux.announce
newsgroup. I haven't looked at the details yet.
A few points that I have noticed:
* Free Software (GNU GPL);
* Design Goals
"
The following principles are central to the project:
1. Transparency: All of the data in the main server database should
be accessible to the public. This includes the encrypted votes,
public encryption keys, and final totals. The main server database
does not store secrets.
2. Universal Verifiability: Any result obtained by the system should
be verifiable by any third party. By inspecting the election
transcript, it should be possible to perform a complete audit of
any procedure.
3. Privacy: All voters in an election should be confident that their
individual choices will remain hidden. Only the total is made
available to the public.
4. Distributed Trust: Each procedure is "supervised" by multiple
authorities, and the final sum cannot be revealed without the
cooperation of a given number of authorities. Any attempt to
undermine the procedure will require the corruption of a set
number of authorities. Authorities and voters may overlap
arbitrarily. Thus, it is possible for the voters themselves to
ensure trustworthiness.
"
I'm adding it to the wiki.
Best wishes,
d.
