ABSTRACT
Among some computer scientists the subject of Internet voting is highly controversial. Anyone who has an opinion usually has a very strong opinion and will defend it technically. Interestingly, although there are many areas of computer science where experts disagree, few bring out the passions of Internet voting. To make this point crystal clear, we include some material presenting the perspective of detractors of Internet voting. Several questions underlying the divergent views revolve around management and control of critical data and processes. How much security is needed? What level is acceptable? How do you test and empirically prove you have achieved an acceptable level of security?
