Is e-voting unsafe and susceptible to manipulation like in the USA?

What encryption does e-voting use? How secure are the databases?

Is the digitalization of analog voting (paper voting) critical?

What can still happen and actually happened separately was that due to the daily background radiation, when summing a flip, a number-driver has happened in the program. After that, it was up to the cause research if the program, by internal testing of the data records and the sum, causes an error due to a deviation. Otherwise, a wrong result can be transmitted (only the final result), if not every record is stored and provided in a database with a selection-local ID, time stamp, checksum and authentication code. I imagine what is probably too insecure and vulnerable in the political sector and cannot be done. With asymmetrical encryption, perhaps again symmetrically encrypted, transmitted by REST and then inserted into a table in the code prevention.

A lecture from the environment of the Chaos Computer Club (I think it was on 36C3) has shown that the entire system is highly insecure. A simple XOR connection of the bytes with a constant was used as the “encryption” of the data transmission. You can also exchange the software used in the polling room directly with a “update” with a manipulated version. With some know-how, for example, the voices for the CDU can be exchanged with those of the SPD during data transmission. If you still don’t like the true result, you hack the server and “correct” the data.

The lecture was terrifying.

Since the CCC always informs the competent authorities prior to the publication of such maladministrations, he received the lapidare communication from the Bundestagewahl, that the result of the paper selection ultimately counts. The electronic transmission is used only for the rapid calculation of the bills.

Moreover, “E-Voting” in Germany is unconstitutional.

Definitely safer than paper sheet counted by people…

That’s why it was created for?!
