Abstract (englisch):
The German Federal Office for Information Security published a study on end-to-end
verifiable online voting mechanisms. We aim to make this study more visible to the E-Vote-ID
community (which includes academia, regulatory bodies and vendors). The study describes the core
idea of the selected mechanisms and evaluates them using an interdisciplinary approach that considers
secrecy, end-to-end verifiability, usability, and practicality. We find that the selection of mechanisms
represents the state of the art in internet voting systems well, and that the evaluation clearly showcases
the fundamental properties of each mechanism. However, we note that the evaluations are conducted
on a per-mechanism basis, whereas real-world systems are composed of multiple.
