Situation
The project extends over twelve months, divided into four phases of three months each, and focuses on five central topics. The first phase includes the expansion of the OpenCHVote framework and the improvement of voting secrecy for persons with restricted voting rights. An updated protocol specification and version 2.0 of the framework will be published in the middle of the project. In the second phase, the focus is on integrating cryptographic algorithms into JavaScript. The development of a verifier and the modeling of an interface to the eCH documents are the final project tasks. At the end, the OpenCHVote 2.2 version will be published.
