US election systems are in a crisis -- maybe students can find
the way forward. In the 2007 Collegiate Voting Systems
Competition, student teams will design, implement, analyze,
attack and evaluate complete voting system that must have been
used in some election, such as one for a student government or
organization. Papers describing and analyzing the system will
be submitted for the conference and used to select candidates
for the final competition. The conference, to be held in
Portland in July 2007, will include demonstrations, mock
elections, submitted presentations and invited talks. A panel
of judges will make awards for the best overall system, best
presentation, best attack, and best paper on voting system
metrics. VoComp 2007 will be run by UMBC's Alan Sherman with
support from the NSF Cyber Trust program and is seen as a way
to engage students in nationally important, state-of-the-art
security and privacy research projects and course work. More
information on the conference, competition, its rules, and an
example system is available at http://vocomp.org/.

I do hope that the competion judges have a clearer idea of what this
conference is about.

No they aren't. The republican party now has the Diebold machines
which can be easily manipulated to produce any result they require,
without any inconvenient audit trails. They have their perfect
electronic voting system.
