Security based requirements engineering for E-Voting System

Abstract

The election process is in need of secured electronic system that voters can rely on and have trust. Unfortunately, a recent study revealed that various E-Voting Systems show serious specification, design, and implementation flaws. When system is being built, tasks such as Security Requirements Elicitation, Specification and Validation are essential to assure the Quality of the resulting secure E-Voting System. In this paper we propose, to adopt Security Requirements Engineering in the early phases of E-Voting System development and consider the Security requirements as functional requirements. This helps in standardizing the Security Requirements for secure E-Voting System with completeness. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
