The UCL deployment of Helios wins Best Paper at EVT/WOTE 2009
We (Ben Adida, Olivier de Marneffe, Olivier Pereira, Jean-Jacques Quisquater) are excited that our paper describing the UCL deployment of Helios just received “Best Paper” award at EVT/WOTE 2009. It’s quite exciting to have an open-audit voting system recognized at a conference that is not entirely focused on cryptography!
Update on Helios
This blog hasn’t been maintained for the last few months, but much Helios stuff has happened.
Helios was deployed at the Université catholique de Louvain [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. The resulting paper will be presented next week at EVT/WOTE, a workshop held jointly with Usenix Security.
Helios was presented at CodeCon 2009.
Helios was presented at an important Israeli workshop on elections, then featured in the Israeli Press.
Just this week, Princeton indicated that it is considering Helios for its undergraduate elections.
And there’s more news coming on Helios, next week at EVT/WOTE. See you in Montreal if you’re going, otherwise keep your eyes on this blog.
