Description
We will focus on this talk on electronic voting which emulates traditional voting in a networked environment. We will first introduce the model of electronic voting. In particular, we will present the security requirements that an electronic voting system must fulfil in order to be a proper substitute for a paper-ballot system. We will also briefly review the cryptographic tools generally used to design secure electronic voting systems.<br/> We will then address some particular drawbacks of usual e-voting systems and show that recent works give serious hope to overcome them -or, on the contrary, annihilate such a hope. In particular, we will briefly present some methods which allow to detect when voting machines (or softwares) are misbehaving. By using them, it is possible to achieve the "What You See Is What You Vote for" property without performing a complex and costly security evaluation of these machines (or softwares). We will next briefly explain how to render useless all kind of coercive attacks (how to ensure that a vote is free, i.e. not constrained) in the context of on-line voting. Finally, we will also give evidence that the "perfect system" cannot exist, by mentioning some impossibility results from WOTE'06. In particular, perfect ballot secrecy and "universal" verifiability of the outcome of the election cannot be satisfied at the same time. We will conclude our presentation with a discussion of ongoing research on the area of e-voting protocols.

Adelic reduction of module lattices
Speaker : Henry Bambury - DGA-MI et Inria Rennes
We give a strict generalisation of the LLL algorithm over number fields, based on the reduction theory of $GL(n)$ over the adele ring of a number field. Our algorithm is free of heuristics, with rigorous bounds on output quality and complexity. -- based on joint work with Seungki Kim, Changmin Lee and Phong Nguyen ---

Post-quantum day of the cryptography seminar
A scientific day devoted to post-quantum cryptography, held in the wake of the European Cyber Week, with talks more technical than those presented at the ECW.
