E-Voting Verifier in Rust
Introduction
This crate is the main library for the E-Voting system of Swiss Post.
It is based on the specifications of Swiss Post, according to the following document versions:
The verifier is implemented for the version 1.5.0 of the E-Voting system of Swiss Post.
This crate is used as basis for a GUI application.
Following application are implemented:
- A console application rust_ev_verifier_console
- A GUI application based on tauri (backend / frontend)
Information about the project
Difference to the Swiss Post implementation
The implementation don't use any code of Swiss Post. It is only based on the published documentation.
A major difference with the Swiss Post Verifier is that the verifications does not return true or false, but return all the errors and failures found, with the necessary information in regard to the position of the element, which generates the error. In this case it helps a better granularity for the analysis of the errors and failures.
The algorithm VerifyECH0222 uses a complete different implementation as specified by Swiss Post (see README). The reason is that it is complitaed to generate an XML file that match the hash value (spaces, tabs, prefix must be exactly the same). We prefer to compare the business relevant data.
Future works
The Verifier is not ready for production.
- For most of the verifications, the negative unit tests are not implemented. A mechanisms of mocks is implemented
- The report of the verifications as PDF is not generated
