Abstract

In the past year and a half a group of experts in electronic voting developed a Common Criteria Protection Profile describing basic requirements for remote electronic voting systems. This work was lead-managed by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) and initiated by the German Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI - society for informatics). To complete this work Micromata's POLYAS system, which is used for the GI elections needs to be evaluated against this Protection Profile. As a first step a high-level evaluation based on the security objectives has been carried out. The results are presented in this paper.
