description: The internet voting protocol deployed at Estonian political elections was enhanced by cast-as-intended vote verifyability mechanism in 2013 to reveal manipulations of the vote casting device by using a second device (most likely a mobile device as it needs to be euqipped with a camera). This paper studies voters' perception and comprehension of this mobile-device-based cast-as-intended verifiability mechanism. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 13 eligible voters who have cast an electronic vote at least once since the availability of this mechanism. While most participants were in favor of having the option to verify available, most were not aware of the main purpose to verify. Instead, they, for instance, thought it was designed to check that they had not made a mistake while selecting a candidate or to verify one's vote was tallied as intended. Thus, our findings highlight the need for improved communication on cast-as-intended verifiability in order to enable informed decisions whether to verify or not.

description: The subgroup of quadratic residues modulo a large safe prime is the most common choice in practice for the ElGamal cryptosystem. Computations in this group are simple and sufficiently efficient for at least 128 bits of security, and the DDH problem seems to be hard. In its practical application, however, this particular group has also several disadvantages, for example the relatively high cost for testing group membership or the uneven message space. In this paper, we discuss an alternative group for ElGamal, called multiplicative group of absolute values modulo a safe prime, which is isomorphic to the subgroup of quadratic residues, but with a slightly different group operation and much better properties for practical applications such as e-voting.

description: The prevalence of technology in elections has increased in recent decades, both in terms of voting systems as well as ancillary ones. At the same time, the issue of public confidence and trust has come to the fore as certain threat actors have sought to undermine electoral integrity through publicized attacks and disinformation campaigns against such technology. This paper examines the nexus between this public trust and the implementation of technology through an electoral cycle approach. It also presents a number of case studies at various points of democratic development and election management body type to examine how various trust variables impact implementation to either increase trust or distrust. This is done to better understand the directionality of these criteria through a methodologically driven approach, based on a uniquely developed trust model. It is hoped that this study will help experts to better understand how these variables impact the critical trust that underpins robust democratic institutions.

description: Quantum computing is yet another example of the shift towards governance and policy-making amidst uncertain risks. We know it is coming and we anticipate that it will have a huge impact on today's electronic communications: the underlaying mathematical problems that allow us to securely send an email, shop online or transfer money are at stake. Voting online will no longer be secure either. In this paper we address a more fundamental concern: how the technological developments in quantum computing tomorrow may affect the fundamental rights of people voting online today. Internet voting is being progressively adopted in many electoral processes, including governmental ones. Countries like Canada, Estonia, France and Switzerland often use it. Their systems satisfy the legal requirements for democratic elections today, but they will no longer be secure once quantum computers are used to break the underlying mathematical problems behind public key cryptography. Our claim in this paper is that this is not only a problem for future regulations, but today's secret ballots are already vulnerable to quantum cryptanalysis in the future (i.e., retrospective decryption). Despite governments and electoral administrations being aware of this risk, no specific measures are yet being adopted to mitigate it, as our analysis of the electoral regulations in the above-mentioned countries shows. Interestingly, there is already a set of alternatives that could be studied. In this paper we analyze several proposals that aim at providing long-term privacy in Internet voting, including secure data deletion, quantum-resistant cryptosystems, and anonymous voting. Whereas none of these alternatives is a silver bullet against quantum cryptanalysis, it is essential that their feasibility is studied so that technological developments do not harm citizen's fundamental rights.

description: Switzerland is one of the few countries with a strong record in online voting in national elections and votes. After 15 years during which parts of the electorate cast their vote online, the trials were brought to a halt in 2019. This short-paper summarizes the developments in Swiss online voting since 2019, when the trial framework was redesigned, allowing trials to take place again in 2023. This article is a non-scientific contribution aimed at providing the e-voting community with essential background information on Swiss online voting. Thereby it sets a focus on the new role of academia in the trial phase.

description: Trust is a precondition for the adoption of novel technologies (see, e.g., Ehin et. al.). As more and more electoral commissions consider introducing e-voting solutions, research into voter trust in these systems grows in importance. As a basis for future research on trust in e-voting, we conducted a literature review. We identified 13 papers researching various factors influencing voters' trust in e-voting. In these papers, we determined a total of 64 potential factors, while the direction of their influence on voter trust may be either positive, negative, or both (positive/negative). These factors were subsequently systemized into five categories, ranging from socio-political to technology-related factors. These are then described and discussed. We also find shortcomings in the current empirical research on voter trust and propose directions for future research in order to address these.

description: Coercion resistance is one of the most challenging security properties to achieve when designing an e-voting protocol. The JCJ voting scheme, proposed in 2005 by Juels, Catalano and Jakobsson, is one of the first voting systems where coercion-resistance was rigorously defined and achieved, making JCJ the benchmark for coercion-resistant protocols. Recently, the coercion-resistance definition proposed in JCJ has been disputed and improved by Cortier, Gaudry, and Yang. They identified a major problem, related to leakage of the number of discarded votes by revoting; and proposed CHide, a new protocol that solves the issue and satisfies a stronger security notion. In this work we present an improved version of CHide, with complexity O(n log(n)) instead of O(n^2) in the number n of received ballots, that relies on sorting encrypted ballots to make the tallying phase faster. The asymptotic complexity of our protocol is competitive with other state-of-the-art coercion-resistant voting protocols satisfying the stronger notion for coercion resistance.

description: In 2023, the third largest election in German, the social elections (in German Sozialwahlen), offered an online channel for the first time. Of particular interest is the fact that the system provides a form of cast-as-intended verifiability, allowing the voter to verify that their vote was cast as intended and not manipulated by the device they used to cast their vote. This paper describes a first analysis of the overall voter experience with a special focus on this verifiability functionality. We utilize a cognitive walkthrough method, with three people having different levels of expertise regarding online voting, including a layman, a security expert, and a voting expert. Our findings reveal a number of issues with the system in terms of communication and presented information, and highlight areas in need of improvement to enhance user experience in particular with respect to the verifiability functionality.

subject: 610 Medizin

description: With the introduction of the virtual allocation crossmatch in the Eurotransplant (ET) region in 2023, the determination of unacceptable antigen mismatches (UAM) in kidney transplant recipients is of utmost importance for histocompatibility laboratories and transplant centers. Therefore, a joined working group of members from the German Society for Immunogenetics (Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Immungenetik, DGI) and the German Transplantation Society (Deutsche Transplantationsgesellschaft, DTG) revised and updated the previous recommendations from 2015 in light of recently published evidence. Like in the previous version, a wide range of topics is covered from technical issues to clinical risk factors. This review summarizes the evidence about the prognostic value of contemporary methods for HLA antibody detection and identification, as well as the impact of UAM on waiting time, on which these recommendations are based. As no clear criteria could be determined to differentiate potentially harmful from harmless HLA antibodies, the general recommendation is to assign all HLA against which plausible antibodies are found as UAM. There is, however, a need for individualized solutions for highly immunized patients. These revised recommendations provide a list of aspects that need to be considered when assigning UAM to enable a fair and comprehensible procedure and to harmonize risk stratification prior to kidney transplantation between transplant centers.

description: The Swiss Post Voting System has undergone over the past few years a rigorous independent examination by experts mandated by the Swiss Federal Chancellery. Following the examination, Swiss Post has made improvements in several areas, including for voter authentication, synchronization, input validation, and universal verifiability. On 18 June 2023, the Swiss Post Voting System was put to trial in its first productive election event. 4,239 voters cast their vote online during the approximately one month that the e-voting channel was open. The adoption rate of the e-voting channel was high, especially among Swiss residents living abroad, with an adoption rate of more than 50%. Swiss Post extensively monitored the voting servers during the whole election period and did not detect any anomalies during the system's operation. The feedback collected regarding the voters' user experience was largely positive. A few voters experienced confusion with regard to the voting process or with browser compatibility issues. Swiss Post has learned important lessons from the independent examination and from the first productive election event, and will continue the work improving the Swiss Post Voting System.

subject: non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs

description: Electronic voting is one of the most interesting application of modern cryptography, as it involves many innovative tools (such as homomorphic public-key encryption, non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs, and distributed cryptography) to guarantee several a priori contradictory security properties: the integrity of the tally and the privacy of the individual votes. While many efficient solutions exist for honest-but-curious voters, that follow the official procedure but try to learn more than just the public result, preventing attacks from malicious voters is much more complex: when voters may have incentive to send biased ballots, the privacy of the ballots is much harder to satisfy, whereas this is the crucial security property for electronic voting. We present a new technique to prove that an ElGamal ciphertext contains a message from a specific subset (quasi-adaptive NIZK of subset membership), using linearly-homomorphic signatures. The proofs are both quite efficient to generate, allowing the use of low-power devices to vote, and randomizable, which is important for the strong receipt-freeness property. They are well-suited to prevent vote-selling and replay attacks, which are the main threats against the privacy in electronic voting, with security proofs in the generic group model and the random oracle model.

description: The Republic of Moldova has been interested in automating elections since 2008, when a corresponding law was passed. However, the interest on this endeavor fluctuated throughout the years. It was only recently that the concrete actions have been actively undertaken to move forwards with the piloting of an internet voting system (IVS). This short paper presents Moldova’s efforts and explores them through the Mirabilis of IVS failure. While Moldova's Internet Voting Project cannot yet be categorized as either success or failure, the Mirabilis is solely used as a tool to identify current pitfalls that are affecting the process and that could still be addressed in time.

description: In recent years, there has been a surge of international standards on digital election technologies: recommendations, guidelines, compendiums, etc. Whereas the legal character of some of these instruments may be put into question, there is no doubt that they prescribe certain good or ideal behaviour that electoral stakeholders should follow when digital technologies are introduced in electoral processes. This paper aims at taking stock of the development of these standards, assessing their degree of legalization, and mapping the stakeholders behind these standard-setting efforts. With this goal in mind, up to 37 international standards on digital election technologies are first identified. These standards deal with issues ranging from broader concerns about the introduction of digital technologies in elections and its compliance with international obligations to the observation and procurement of digital election technologies, as well as with cybersecurity and data protection issues. We are able to demonstrate that although these standards are (still) far from creating an international regime on digital election technologies, they do share many things in common: low levels of obligation and delegation, but high levels of precision that help complement actual hard-law instruments in the electoral field. Second, the paper discusses if the development of these standards can be framed in the context of the Governance Triangle and/or the institution of multi-stakeholderism. Far from what is seen in other areas of global and Internet governance, cooperation between different types of international actors is currently limited: most of the standards being either developed by States, intergovernmental organisations (IGOs), or non-governmental organisations (NGOs) independently.

description: Comparison of NRXN3 isoform representation between OSU and GTEx brains. The ratio of the blue and orange isoforms favors ENST00000554738.1 in both GTEx and OSU in the cerebellum and favors ENST00000555387.1 in the other 3 overlapping regions. ENST00000554738.1 corresponds to NRXN3_dup5, and ENST00000555387.1 corresponds to NRXN3_dup0. The protein coding version ENST00000428277.2 is highly represented in GTEx brains likely due to poly-A selection. (PDF 176 kb)

description: Sprachbildung im Beruf fokussiert immer noch stark auf Deutsch, während es als gesichert gelten kann, dass Sprachenvielfalt nicht nur in vielen Berufen gesucht und gebraucht wird, sondern die Einbeziehung des gesamten Sprachenrepertoires sich als positiv für Lernprozesse erweist. Gerade Schreiben für den Beruf ist ein komplexer Prozess, der positiv beeinflusst wird, wenn Schreibende all ihre Ressourcen nutzen können. Schreibberatung, verstanden als individuelle, ressourcenorientierte und klient*innenzentrierte Unterstützung, kann hier zielführend sein, besonders, wenn im Sinne des Translanguaging agiert wird. Der Beitrag zeigt auf, welche Konzepte und Erfahrungen es dazu aktuell gibt, und welche Faktoren in der Ausbildung von Beratenden berücksichtigt werden sollten.

description: Defective T-cell functions play a role in the persistence of HCV infection. Activated T cells express CD137, which costimulates antivirus T-cell responses, and this activity is antagonized by soluble CD137 (sCD137). Here, we show that in sera of 81 patients with chronic HCV, sCD137 levels did not correlate with measures of viral infection, and did not decline after virus eradication using direct-acting antivirals. Thus, serum sCD137 was similar in patients infected with HCV and in uninfected controls. Of note, in HCV patients with liver cirrhosis and patients with mostly alcohol-associated liver cirrhosis, sCD137 was increased. A negative association of sCD137 and albumin existed in both cohorts. sCD137 concentrations were similar in hepatic and portal vein blood excluding the liver as the origin of higher levels. Recombinant sCD137 reduced Th1 and Th2 but not Th17 cell polarization in vitro, and accordingly lowered IFN-gamma, TNF, and IL-13 in cell media. Serum sCD137 is associated with inflammatory states, and positively correlated with serum TNF in cirrhotic HCV patients following virus eradication. Our study argues against a role of sCD137 in HCV infection and suggests a function of sCD137 in liver cirrhosis, which yet has to be defined.

description: The new Medical Licensing Regulations 2025 (arztliche Approbationsordnung, aApprO) will soon be passed by the Federal Council (Bundesrat) and will be implemented step by step by the individual faculties in the coming months. The further development of medical studies essentially involves an orientation from fact-based to competence-based learning and focuses on practical, longitudinal and interdisciplinary training. Radiation oncology and radiation therapy are important components of therapeutic oncology and are of great importance for public health, both clinically and epidemiologically, and therefore should be given appropriate attention in medical education. This report is based on a recent survey on the current state of radiation therapy teaching at university hospitals in Germany as well as the contents of the National Competence Based Learning Objectives Catalogue for Medicine 2.0 (Nationaler Kompetenzbasierter Lernzielkatalog Medizin 2.0, NKLM) and the closely related Subject Catalogue (Gegenstandskatalog, GK) of the Institute for Medical and Pharmaceutical Examination Questions (Institut fur Medizinische und Pharmazeutische Prufungsfragen, IMPP). The current recommendations of the German Society for Radiation Oncology (Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Radioonkologie, DEGRO) regarding topics, scope and rationale for the establishment of radiation oncology teaching at the respective faculties are also included.
