2019: Announcement
On May 6, 2019 Microsoft announced the free software ElectionGuard which is designed to protect elections from hacker cracking and attempts to affect results of vote.
As envisioned by developers, ElectionGuard will allow to carry out the end-to-end assessment of results of vote, and any participant of elections will be able to check whether correctly counted his voice.
Microsoft emphasized that the created software is not intended for replacement of paper bulletins, electronic voting systems. The solution should supplement and improve the existing systems of counting of votes only.
ElectionGuard can be used as for work with the optical scanner of paper bulletins, and for "manual" accounting of bulletins, the senior cryptographer of Microsoft Research and key project participant Josh Benalo explained.
Microsoft is going to begin public testing of ElectionGuard with summer of 2019. It is expected that the technology can find application during the 59th presidential elections in the USA on November 3, 2020.
Some equipment suppliers for elections in the territory of the USA already showed readiness to study functionality of the program, not excepting possibilities of its practical application. The main Microsoft partner on project development is the American company Galois which took part in creation of secure system of vote by request of research division of the Pentagon of DARPA earlier.
Earlier the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced growth of cyber attacks to the American selective infrastructure in 2018. In the report of one of departments of department it was said that the attacks are carried out by unknown hackers "on a regular basis" with "the different purposes". In particular, they are directed to theft of a confidential information and "betrayal of confidence in elections".[1]
