\section*{Homework 2}

\begin{enumerate}
\item Voice voting is the method of casting a vote in the `open air' for everyone
present to hear. Which of the following security requirements do paper ballots 
satisfy \textbf{better} than voice voting? Check all that apply and give a brief explanation 
for your decision.

\begin{itemize}
\item[$\Box$] Integrity
\item[$\Box$] Enfranchisement
\item[$\Box$] Ballot secrecy
\item[$\Box$] Voter authentication
\item[$\Box$] Availability
\end{itemize}


\item Explain how an attacker can use chain voting in order to influence the outcome of a 
poll using paper ballots. 

\item Which of the following mechanisms help with defending against chain voting? Check all 
that apply. Give a brief reason for each defence that mitigates chain voting attacks.

\begin{itemize}
\item[$\Box$] Using a glass ballot box to make it clear there are no
  ballots in the box before the start of the election.
\item[$\Box$] Distributing ballots publicly before the election.
\item[$\Box$] Checking that a voter's ID (drivers license, passport) matches the voter.
\item[$\Box$] Each ballot has a unique ID. When a voter is given a ballot, the ID is recorded. When the voter submits his or her ballot, this ID is checked against the record.
\end{itemize}

\item In the Estonian general election, votes can be cast via Internet
  some time before the election day. These votes cast via Internet can
  be changed an unlimited amount of times, the last vote is
  tabulated. You can even change your vote on the polling day in
  person. Which security requirement does this procedure address?

\item What is the main difference between online banking and e-voting? 
(Hint: Why is the latter so hard to get secure?)

\item Imagine, hypothetically, you have a perfectly secure Internet
  voting system, by which I mean nobody can tamper with or steal votes
  between your browser and the central server responsible for vote
  tallying. What can still go wrong with such a perfectly secure
  voting system, which is prevented in traditional elections with
  paper-based ballots?
