ABOUT THE SPEAKER
David Bismark - Voting system designer
David Bismark has co-developed an electronic voting system that contains a simple and reliable method of verification.

Why you should listen

One of the main objections to e-voting is that it's difficult for each voter to know that her vote was recorded accurately and counted correctly, while she remains anonymous. In the system designed by David Bismark and his colleagues, each voter gets a takeaway slip that serves as a record of the vote, and allows elections to be independently verified.

Apart from his work on voting systems, Bismark runs Recito Förlag, a publishing company in Sweden.

110000
2000
ko ste svoj glas oddali v volilno skrinjico.

Večina ljudi bo šla domov
02:09
and feel sure that theirnjihovi voteglasovanje has been countedštetje,
44
114000
2000
prepričanih, da je bil njihov glas med preštetimi,
02:11
because they trustzaupanje
45
116000
2000
saj zaupajo,
02:13
that the electionvolitve systemsistem worksdela.
46
118000
2000
da volilni sistem deluje.
02:15
They trustzaupanje that electionvolitve workersdelavce and electionvolitve observersopazovalci

opravijo svoje delo, in to korektno.
02:22
The ballotglasovanje boxesškatle go to countingštetje placesmesta.
49
127000
3000
Volilne skrinjice odnesejo v prostore za štetje.
02:25
They're unsealedodprl and the votesglasov are pouredvlije out
50
130000
3000
Tam jih odpečatijo in stresejo ven glasovnice
02:28
and laboriouslytrudom countedštetje.
51
133000
3000
ter jih natančno preštejejo.
02:31
MostVečina of us have to trustzaupanje
52
136000
2000
Večina med nami mora zaupati,
02:33
that that happensse zgodi correctlypravilno for our ownlastno voteglasovanje,
53
138000
2000
da se to zgodi pravilno za naš glas,

146000
3000
Zaupati moramo torej veliko ljudem.
02:45
We have to trustzaupanje a lot of procedurespostopki.
57
150000
3000
Zaupati moramo številnim postopkom.
02:49
And sometimesvčasih we even have to trustzaupanje computersračunalniki.
58
154000
3000
In včasih moramo zaupati celo računalnikom.
02:54
So imaginezamislite hundredsstotine of millionsmilijoni of votersvolivci
59

2000
Zamislite si na stotine milijonov volivcev,
02:56

61
163000
3000
ki jih je vse treba pravilno prešteti,
03:01
and all the things that can possiblymorda go wrongnarobe
62
166000
3000
in vse, kar lahko gre narobe
03:04
causingpovzroča all these badslab headlinesnaslovi,
63
169000
3000
in pripelje do takih slabih naslovnic,
03:09
and you cannotne morem help but feel exhaustedizčrpana at the ideaideja
64
174000
3000
in nedvomno boste utrujeni od razmišljanja,
03:12
of tryingposkušam to make electionsvolitve better.
65
177000
3000
kako izboljšati potek volitev.
03:18
Well in the faceobraz of all these badslab headlinesnaslovi,
66
183000
2000
Soočeni z vsemi temi negativnimi naslovi
03:20
researchersraziskovalci have takensprejeti a stepkorak back
67
185000
3000
so raziskovalci stopili korak nazaj
03:23
and thought about how we can do electionsvolitve differentlydrugače.
68
188000
3000
in razmislili o tem, kako izpeljati volitve drugače.
03:27
They'veOni zoomedpovečano out and lookedpogledal at the bigvelik pictureslika.
69
192000
3000
Na stvar so pogledali od daleč, celostno.
03:30
And the bigvelik pictureslika is this:
70
195000
2000
In celostna slika je taka:
03:32
electionsvolitve should be verifiablepreverljiv.
71
197000
3000
volitve bi morale biti preverljive.
03:36
VotersVolivci should be ablesposoben to checkpreveri
72
201000
3000
Volivci bi morali imeti možnost preveriti,
03:39
that theirnjihovi votesglasov are countedštetje correctlypravilno,
73
204000
3000
ali so bili njihovi glasovi pravilno prešteti,
03:42
withoutbrez breakingzlom electionvolitve secrecytajnost,
74
207000
2000
ne da bi pri tem prekršili načelo tajnosti volitev,
03:44
whichki is so very importantpomembno.
75
209000
3000
ki je tako zelo pomembno.
03:47
And that's the toughtežko partdel.
76
212000
2000
In to je zahtevni del vsega.
03:49
How do we make an electionvolitve systemsistem completelypopolnoma verifiablepreverljiv
77
214000
3000
Kako naj bo volilni sistem povsem preverljiv,
03:52
while keepingvzdrževanje the votesglasov
78
217000
2000
če naj ostanejo glasovi
03:54
absolutelyabsolutno secretskrivnost?
79
219000
2000
absolutno tajni?
03:56
Well, the way we'vesmo come up with
80
221000
2000
No, naš način
03:58
usesuporabe computersračunalniki
81
223000
2000
uporablja računalnike,
04:00
but doesn't dependodvisno on them.
82
225000
2000
ni pa odvisen od njih.
04:02
And the secretskrivnost is the ballotglasovanje formobrazec.
83
227000
2000
Skrivnost je v glasovnici.
04:04
And if you look closelytesno at these ballotglasovanje formsobrazce,
84
229000
2000
Če od blizu pogledate te glasovnice,
04:06
you'llboš noticeopaziti that the candidatekandidat listseznam
85
231000
2000
boste videli, da je seznam kandidatov
04:08
is in a differentdrugačen orderred on eachvsak one.
86
233000
2000
na vsaki drugačen.
04:10
And that meanssredstva, if you markoznačite your choicesizbire on one of them
87
235000
3000
To pomeni, da če svoj glas oddate na eni od njih
04:13
and then removeodstraniti the candidatekandidat listseznam,
88
238000
2000
in potem odstranite seznam kandidatov,
04:15
I won'tne bo be ablesposoben to tell from the bitbit remainingostalo
89
240000
3000
od papirja, ki ostane, ne morem ugotoviti,
04:18
what your voteglasovanje is for.
90
243000
3000
komu je namenjen vaš glas.
04:21
And on eachvsak ballotglasovanje formobrazec there is this encryptedšifrirano valuevrednost
91
246000
3000
Na vsaki glasovnici je tudi kodirana vrednost
04:24
in the formobrazec of this 2D barcodečrtne kode
92
249000
2000
v obliki te 2D črtne kode
04:26
on the right.
93
251000
2000
na desni.
04:28
And there's some complicatedzapleteno cryptographyKriptografija
94
253000
2000
In tule je udeležena določena
04:30
going on in there,
95
255000
2000
zapletena kriptografija,
04:32
but what's not complicatedzapleteno
96
257000
2000
tisto kar pa ni zapleteno,
04:34
is votingglasovanje with one of these formsobrazce.
97
259000
3000
je glasovanje na teh obrazcih.
04:37
So we can let computersračunalniki do all the complicatedzapleteno cryptographyKriptografija for us,
98
262000
3000
Tako pustimo računalnikom, da opravijo z zapleteno kriptografijo,
04:40
and then we'llbomo use the paperpapir for verificationpreverjanje.
99
265000
3000
mi pa uporabimo papir za preverjanje.
04:44
So this is how you voteglasovanje.
100
269000
2000
Glasujete torej tako.
04:46
You get one of these ballotglasovanje formsobrazce at randomnaključen,
101
271000
4000
Dobite naključen obrazec,
04:50
and then you go into the votingglasovanje boothkabina,
102
275000
2000
greste v volilno kabino
04:52
and you markoznačite your choicesizbire,
103
277000
2000
in označite svoj izbor,
04:54
and you teartrgati alongskupaj a perforationperforacija.
104
279000
3000
potem pa listič pretrgate po perforaciji.
04:59
And you shredShred the candidatekandidat listseznam.
105
284000
3000
Seznam kandidatov uničite.
05:02
And the bitbit that remainsostanki, the one with your marksoznake --
106
287000
3000
Tisto, kar ostane, ta del z vašim izborom,
05:05
this is your encryptedšifrirano voteglasovanje.
107
290000
2000
to je vaš kodiran glas.
05:07
So you let a pollAnketa stationpostaja workerdelavec
108
292000
2000
Sodelavec volilne komisije na volišču
05:09
scanskeniranje your encryptedšifrirano voteglasovanje.
109
294000
2000
skenira vaš kodiran glas.
05:11
And because it's encryptedšifrirano,
110
296000
2000
In ker je kodiran,
05:13
it can be submittedvpisali, storedshranjeni
111
298000
2000
ga je mogoče oddati, shraniti
05:15
and countedštetje centrallycentralno
112
300000
3000
in prešteti na centraliziran način
05:18
and displayedprikazano on a websitespletno stran
113
303000
2000
ter ga objaviti na spletni strani
05:20
for anyonekdorkoli to see, includingvključno z you.
114
305000
3000
na ogled vsem, tudi vam.
05:23
So you take this encryptedšifrirano voteglasovanje
115
308000
3000
Tole kodirano glasovnico
05:26
home as your receiptprejemu.
116
311000
2000
odnesete domov kot potrdilo.
05:28
And after the closeblizu of the electionvolitve,

2000
Ne pozabite, glas je kodiran
05:41
from the momenttrenutek you leavedopust the votingglasovanje boothkabina,
122
326000
3000
od trenutka, ko zapustite volilno kabino,
05:44
so if an electionvolitve officialuradni wants to find out how you votedglasovali,
123
329000
3000
tako da če volilni uradnik želi ugotoviti, kako ste volili,
05:47
they will not be ablesposoben to.
124
332000

2000
Če vlada želi ugotoviti, kako ste volili,
05:51
they won'tne bo be ablesposoben to.
126
336000
3000
ne more.
05:54
No hackerindijska volovska zaprega can breakodmor in

2000
Noben heker ne more vlomiti

saj se potem ne bo ujemal z vašim potrdilom.
06:04
VotesGlasov can't go missingpogrešam
131
349000
3000
Glasovi ne morejo izginiti,
06:07
because then you won'tne bo find yourstvoja when you look for it.
132
352000
3000
kajti potem jih ne bi našli, ko bi jih iskali.
06:11
But the electionvolitve magicmagija doesn't stop there.
133
356000
3000
A volilna čarovnija se tu ne konča.
06:14
InsteadNamesto, we want to make the wholeceloto processproces
134
359000
2000
Namesto tega želimo celoten proces
06:16
so transparentpregleden
135
361000
2000

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
David Bismark - Voting system designer
David Bismark has co-developed an electronic voting system that contains a simple and reliable method of verification.

Why you should listen

One of the main objections to e-voting is that it's difficult for each voter to know that her vote was recorded accurately and counted correctly, while she remains anonymous. In the system designed by David Bismark and his colleagues, each voter gets a takeaway slip that serves as a record of the vote, and allows elections to be independently verified.

Apart from his work on voting systems, Bismark runs Recito Förlag, a publishing company in Sweden.
