TOP STORY
An international group of researchers: Sarah Jamie Lewis, Vanessa Teague, and Olivier Periera, found a critical flaw in the code that underlies the Swiss e-voting system that’s scheduled to roll out this year. The flaw could allow someone to alter votes without detection. From Matthew Green: “The problem occurs because the voting system implements a series of sophisticated cryptographic zero-knowledge proofs, in order to keep votes encrypted and untraceable while also preserving election integrity. At a critical place, one of the proofs is flawed.”
