DESCRIPTION:While running an election sounds simpl
 e, it is in fact extremely challenging. Not only a
 re there millions of voters to be authenticated an
 d millions of votes to be carefully collected, cou
 nted, and stored, there are now millions of "votin
 g machines" containing millions of lines of code t
 o be evaluated for security vulnerabilities. Moreo
 ver, voting systems have a unique requirement: the
  voter must not be given a "receipt" that would al
 low them to prove how they voted to someone else -
  otherwise the voter could be coerced or bribed in
 to voting a certain way. This lack of receipts mak
 es the design of secure voting system much more ch
 allenging than, say, the security of banking syste
 ms (where receipts are the norm).  For more inform
 ation, see http://projects.cwi.nl/crypto/risc.html
