Kaspersky Lab, an internationally recognized computer protection firm, in partnership with The Economist have recently held a challenge inviting teams from universities around the world to design a system for digital voting that addressed such issues as ensuring privacy and validating contested results.
Three students from the New York University – Kevin Kirby, Anthony Masi, and Fernando Maymi – won the first place in the Cybersecurity Case Study challenge with their system, Votebook, which is secure, scalable, and consistent with current voter behavior and expectations of privacy. As per the rules of the challenge, Votebook is based on blockchain technology, which creates a distributed, irreversible, incontrovertible public ledger that has been described as double-entry accounting for the digital age.
