<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>San Francisco: While current election systems are far from perfect, security risks can persist in Internet- and blockchain-based voting systems, says a study by researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT<\/a>).

The paper titled \"Going from Bad to Worse: From
Internet Voting<\/a> to Blockchain Voting<\/a>,\" comes at a time when news reports of possible foreign interference in elections, of unauthorised voting, of voter disenfranchisement, and of technological failures have called into question the integrity of elections worldwide.

The calls for blockchain-based voting grew stronger after media outlets in the US waited to announce the winner of the presidential poll until the Saturday following the election day.

Internet- and blockchain-based voting would greatly increase the risk of undetectable, nation-scale election failures, said the MIT paper.

According to the researchers, claims that \"voting over the
Internet<\/a>\" or \"voting on the blockchain<\/a>\" would increase election security have been found wanting and \"misleading\".

For the study, Institute Professor Ronald Rivest of MIT's renowned Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and his colleagues analysed prior research on the security risks of online and electronic voting.

They showed that \"not only do these risks persist in blockchain-based voting systems, but blockchains may introduce additional problems for voting systems.\"

The paper pointed out that prior studies had shown that online voting may have little to no effect on turnout in practice, and it may even increase disenfranchisement.

\"More importantly: given the current state of computer security, any turnout increase derived from with Internet- or blockchain-based voting would come at the cost of losing meaningful assurance that votes have been counted as they were cast, and not undetectably altered or discarded,\" the researchers wrote.

旧金山:尽管当前选举系统远非完美,安全风险可以坚持互联网blockchain-based投票系统,说一项研究从麻省理工学院(麻省理工学院)。

本文题为“从糟:从网络投票区块链投票”之际,新闻报道可能的外国干涉选举,未经授权的投乐动扑克票,选民的权利,和技术故障有质疑选举的公正性。

呼吁blockchain-based投票后变得更强的媒体在美国等待宣布总统选举的获胜者直到选举日之后的周六。

互联网——而且blockchain-based投票将大大增加探测不到的风险,nation-scale选举失败,说麻省理工学院。

据研究人员介绍,声称“投票互联网”或“投票的区块链“将增加选举安全发现了希望和“误导”。

在这项研究中,麻省理工学院教授罗纳德·莱维斯特的著名的计算机科学与人工智能实验室(CSAIL)和他的同事分析了之前研究在线和电子投票的安全风险。

他们表明,这些风险不仅存在于blockchain-based投票系统,但blockchains可能引入额外的投票系统的问题。”

本文指出,之前的研究表明,在线投票可能没有影响投票率在实践中,它甚至可能增加的权利。

“更重要的是:鉴于计算机安全的当前状态,任何增加来自互联网或blockchain-based投票率会失去意义的保证成本的选票已经算作他们是演员,而不是无法察觉改变或丢弃,”研究人员写道。

“这种状况将继续只要标准等策略恶意软件0天,拒绝服务攻击继续是有效的,”他们补充说。
