Requirements for remote electronic voting

Abstract

The previous chapter specifies the requirements for stand-alone direct recording electronic voting machines. Based on this list and as a result of the development procedures from Sect. 4.1 this chapter provides the requirements for remote electronic voting systems. This standardised, consistent, and exhaustive list of requirements respects the glossary and syntax introduced in Sect. C and 4.4 respectively. The partition of this chapter is equal to the one from chapter 5: Before providing the list of requirements, the chapter-specific notation is explained (meaning those notations not used in the requirements for stand-alone direct recording electronic voting machines). Then, the exact target of evaluation is defined. The partition for the requirements is also taken over from the previous section: First, the security and functional requirements are defined and then, the assurance, usability, and operational requirements.
