  1. Verifiable Classroom Voting Feng Hao School of Computing Science Newcastle University Learning and Teaching Seminar (13 Nov, 2012)

  2. Background • UTLSEC innovation project (Jun-Aug, 2012) • Aim: verifiable classroom voting based on using smart phones as voting clients • By comparison, TurningPoint classroom voting system is not verifiable. • TurningPoint also relies on using proprietary hardware for voting clients and server

  3. Overview of our system • Publicly verifiable without having to trust admin/teacher • Students use their own devices to vote • Voting can happen at anywhere as long as Internet is available Web server Internet Voting clients (iPhones, Android phones etc)

  5. Verifiable classroom voting • We believe it is the first such in the world • State-of-the-art verifiable e-voting technologies all require trustworthy authorities to do the tallying • Unrealistic to find such authorities in classroom voting • The core technology underneath our solution • Self-enforcing e-voting (Hao, Kreeger, 2010) • Goes beyond the current state-of-the-art • Ground-breaking nature recognized by the recent award of 2012 ERC Starting Grant (1.5m euros)

  6. Acknowledgements • Hard work by two students over summer • MrCarlton Shepherd • Currently a CS Stage 3 student • Developed the Android app • Dr Dylan Clarke • Currently an RA • Developed the iPhone app and web server
