Submitting Workshop Material

Participants in the workshop are encouraged to submit threat analyses or white papers concerning some aspect of voting systems. A threat analysis may address generic threats to voting systems or may address threats to specific voting systems. Examples of specific voting systems include ballot marking devices, optical scan devices, direct recording electronic (DRE) voting systems, and DRE voting systems with a voter-verifiable paper trail (VVPT).

A threat analysis submission for this workshop should generally follow the outline below:

• Attack Name
• Applicability (e.g. voting phase, voting systems, regions or
  populations)
• Attack Method
• Resource Requirements and Costs
• Consequences and Potential Gain
• Likelihood of Detection
• Countermeasures
• Citations and References
• Retrospective and Historical Notes

View an example of a threat analysis ("Chain Voting") in the above outline format.
 (Also available as a Word [.doc] document)

A second example: "Spooled Paper".
 

Submissions should be sent to voting@nist.gov.  All submissions, and responses to submissions, will be posted here.

Prior to the workshop, the workshop committee will select specific submissions for discussion at one of the two panel sessions.  (See the workshop agenda.)
