Security Considerations for Remote Electronic Voting

Title: Security Considerations for Remote Electronic Voting

Research Question: Can remote electronic voting over the Internet be secure for public elections?

Methodology: The study examines the feasibility of conducting national federal elections over the Internet. It focuses on the limitations of the current deployed infrastructure in terms of the security of the hosts and the Internet itself.

Results: The research concludes that at present, our infrastructure is inadequate for remote Internet voting.

Implications: The findings suggest that significant improvements in security measures are needed before remote electronic voting can be considered for public elections. This includes strengthening the security of hosts and the Internet infrastructure, as well as developing effective methods to prevent coercion, vote selling, and vote solicitation.
