Audit-proof voting
Definition:
An audit-proof vote is a process in which the casting of votes and the result of the vote are protected against subsequent changes, manipulation or falsification. This is ensured by the use of cryptographic procedures. Important features are non-modifiability, traceability, completeness, access protection, self-checking and digital documentation of the voting results.
Advantages:
- Guaranteed integrity and security of the voting process
- Increased transparency and traceability of the vote
- Protection against manipulation and unauthorised access
- Fulfilment of legal requirements for digital voting
Application in OpenTalk:
OpenTalk enables audit-proof voting, either by name or anonymously, with tamper-proof documentation of results. The entire voting process remains transparent and traceable and protected against unauthorised access. After a vote has been cast, OpenTalk creates a digitally signed report as audit-proof documentation.
