Kaspersky Lab specialists unveiled a system for remote electronic voting based on Russian cryptographic algorithms. Alexander Sazonov, head of the Polys project, said during a corporate online conference.<\/p>\n
The Polys.GOST system is designed to conduct large-scale state voting with an unlimited number of voters. It keeps the voter registry and information about the course of the vote confidential.<\/p>\n
\n“Polys.GOST satisfies regulators’ requirements for cryptographic means to protect information, which makes its use in government information systems possible,” noted Alexander Sazonov.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Domestic cryptographic algorithms are integrated both into the blockchain platform itself and into the business logic implemented in smart contracts, as well as in the organizer’s, voters’ and observers’ applications.<\/p>\n
The head of Polys noted that electronic voting is becoming more relevant as it saves on election administration, automates processes, and reduces the risk of manipulating the results.<\/p>\n
In November 2017, the Polys blockchain system was introduced.<\/p>\n
In early October 2020, Polys migrated<\/a> from the Ethereum protocol to the open Exonum framework by Bitfury. It uses blind-signature technology and specialized tools for monitoring the progress of the vote.<\/p>\n
