Scytl, the e-voting system provider behind the Swiss Post system and the New South Wales iVote system have released their reflections on 2019, a year in which both systems were found to have critical cryptographic flaws.

"2019 shaped up to be a spectacular year for Scytl"

Oh Fuck Off @Scytl

"0 penetrations, just critical, election stealing flaws in every single zero knowledge protocol implementation"

@scytl "1/2 of all voters checked their vote correction with an app that we wrote that checks the correctness of the vote casting in a system that was demonstrably shown to have critical vulnerabilities that could have been used to undetectably alter votes"

@scytl Oh look who predicted all of this.

@scytl If you want to see just how broken it all is, you can find the source code for the cheating proofs and link to all the public technical papers here: git.openprivacy.ca/swiss-post-scy…

@scytl Coming to a democracy near you.

@scytl If for any reason you find yourself thinking "Sarah, I want to listen to you rant about this for 2 straight hours", then you are in luck:

@scytl 2019 was an amazing year for @OpenPriv, but we barely scratched 50% of our fundraising goal. I'm really excited for 2020, but it's awfully disheartening to think of what we would be able to accomplish with even a 10% of what Switzerland paid for sVote
