A new report from the National Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Engineering, and the School of Medicine stated that the Internet voting system should not be used at this time. The organization also advocates the use of paper ballots in all U.S. elections before 2020.
The National Academy of Sciences, the School of Engineering, and the School of Medicine (NASEM) published a 156-page report entitled "Securing Voting: Protecting American Democracy." The report stated that the Internet voting system should not be Use these systems.
The authors of the report wrote that while the use of blockchain as an unchanging ballot box "may seem promising," the technology "does little to solve the fundamental security issues of elections."
This report is the result of a two-year study. The research committee is composed of cybersecurity experts, electoral scholars, and social scientists.
In general, the report advocates the use of readable paper ballots before the 2020 presidential election. The goal of this work is to "protect the integrity and security of American elections."
The author of the report pointed out that there is currently a lack of technology that can guarantee verifiability, confidentiality, and the security of "transmitting marked ballots on the Internet."
Blockchain brings more security holes to votingNASEM lists many reasons against blockchain-based voting systems.
According to the report, the blockchain “introduces additional security holes†when it comes to elections, because malware on a person’s device can change the vote before it reaches the blockchain.
As a result, the immutability of the blockchain "cannot provide the required integrity", and voters may still not know that their votes have been changed.
The author wrote how to use a simpler way to achieve the "visibility and immutability" advocated by blockchain advocates. These figures illustrate how election officials can only release digitally signed versions of relevant election data without having to rely on blockchain-based systems.
The report stated that systems such as E2E-V and other voting methods can be used to integrate blockchain into the election system. However, the report also pointed out that “the credit for solving these problems lies in the additional mechanism, not the use of blockchain.â€
In addition to promoting paper ballots, the National Employment Service also made some suggestions to the authorities. The organization said that election administrators should report any compromises to the voting system to the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Electoral Assistance Board.
NASEM also lobbied Congress to provide funding so that state and local governments can continuously improve cybersecurity capabilities.
Is blockchain voting becoming more and more popular?Despite the recommendations in the report, the trend of voting with the help of blockchain is slowly spreading throughout the world. West Virginia became the first state to test blockchain-based mobile voting applications, initially targeting military personnel from other states.
This summer, the town of Zug in Switzerland tested a blockchain-based voting system. The Japanese city of Tsukuba recently launched a new digital voting system that allows residents to vote on various social contribution project proposals.
