VOTING 2016: First Workshop on Advances in Secure Electronic Voting Schemes

摘要

In the summer of 2015 we were approached by the organizers of Financial Crypto with the suggestion to submit a proposal for a workshop on secure voting systems to contribute to marking the 20th anniversary of FC. We took up the invitation and the resulting proposal was duly accepted. This led to a rather shorter lead time for advertisement etc. than we would ideally have liked, but nonetheless the workshop was a success in terms of the number and quality of submissions, attendance, and the quality of presentations and the discussions.
