Explore the limitations of End-to-End Verifiability (E2E-V) in online voting systems through this 28-minute conference talk from DEF CON 33's Voting Village. Examine how E2E-V, a cryptographic paradigm that allows voters to verify their votes were cast as intended, recorded as cast, and tallied as recorded, is being promoted as a "magic bullet" for secure internet voting to public officials at county and state levels. Discover why E2E-V fails to address certain critical vulnerabilities, particularly client-side attacks and malware that can compromise voting applications and devices outside the cryptographic protection loop. Learn about server-side vulnerabilities that exist beyond the cryptographic framework and understand how client-side systems remain the primary attack vector even in E2E-V-equipped voting systems. Compare expert perspectives on E2E-V limitations with the marketing claims of commercial internet voting system promoters, gaining insight into the gap between cryptographic theory and practical security implementation in digital voting infrastructure.
