Product Info
- Name
- chvote
- Developer
- Republique et Canton de Geneve
- Functionality
- The following components are released as opensource software:
- The offline administration application
- Various utility libraries needed by this application
The goals of the offline administration application are to:
- generate the keys responsible for encrypting and decrypting the stored ballots, using passphrases from the electoral board;
- test the generated keys and the passphrases;
- decrypt the ballots.
The security objective of having an offline application is to ensure that the private key able to decrypt the ballots is never known to any system other than the offline application and its offline laptop.
The offline administration application is a key component of the evoting system in that it is the only one responsible for creating and using the private decryption key.
