=================================================================== Call for Participation for VETO 2009 3rd workshop on Security and Electronic Voting http://www-veto2009.imag.fr on June 28, 2009 in Grenoble, France Co-located with CAV 2009 =================================================================== ----- Aims and Scope ----- Concerns about computer security are constantly increasing with the appearance of new information technology applications. One major new application that has a strong impact on the society is e-voting. E-voting is supposed to speed-up votes talling, broaden partipation and decrease fraud threat. However, the design of correct e-voting systems turns to be very hard. Indeed, some wanted properties seem to be difficult to reconciliate such as verifiability of votes and anonymity of voters. Cryptographic constructions and systems should offer solutions. Foundational work to rigorously define e-voting properties, attack models and languages for describing the solutions is still emerging. The situation for verification methods and tools for these systems is even more preliminary. The aim of this workshop is to advance state of the art by gathering together researchers to discuss and exchange ideas and results and identify key problems and challenges. This year's workshop is organized as a satellite event of CAV. Topics of Interests: * E-voting * Anonymity * Security * Privacy * Encryption Schemes * Verifiability * Cryptographic Protocols ----- Invited Speakers ----- * Jacques Traoré (Orange) "Towards Practical Coercion-Resistant Electronic Elections". * Ralf Kuesters (Trier University) "An Epistemic Approach to Coercion-Resistance for Electronic Voting Protocols". * Damien Vergnaud (ENS ULM) "Traceable Anonymous Encryption" * Olivier Pereira (UCL Belgium) "Electing a University President using Open-Audit Voting" * Mark Ryan (University of Birmingham UK) "Requirements conflict in voting protocols" * Peter Ryan (University of Luxembourg) "Advances in Verifiable Voting Systems" * Sami Harari (Toulon) "FSS-Id/FSA-Id A Fast Safe, Identity Based, Aggregate Signature/Authentication Scheme" * Mouhebeddine BERRIMA (FST-Tunis LIP2) "Deciding knowledge in security protocols under some e-voting theories" * Takoua ABDELLATIF BERRAYANA ESSTHS/University of Sousse/LIP2 "Mosaic: A secure and practical remote voting system". =================================================================== Call for Participation 3rd workshop on VETO 2009 Satellite workshop of CAV 2009 June 28, 2009 Grenoble, France http://www-veto2009.imag.fr ===================================================================
