The cryptography behind e-voting, and why paper still matters

Original: The cryptography behind e-voting (and why paper ballots are still essential)

Security firm Trail of Bits has published an explainer on the cryptography used in electronic voting systems, arguing that even strong cryptographic guarantees cannot replace physical paper ballots. The piece walks through how e-voting schemes handle voter privacy and verifiability, and why auditable paper trails remain essential for election integrity.

Why now: Renewed debate over election security and trust in voting technology keeps e-voting risks in the spotlight.
