In the Netherlands we have a long standing tradition of voting using the red pencil and paper. But historically we have had a good decade where we voted using votingmachines/computers.
The reason we went back to the paper way has everything to do with some very critical hackers. The result of their important work and effort is still relevant today.
In this talk you will learn a little bit about the history of votingmachines in the Netherlands, what hackers had to do with them and what the challenges are that we face when trying to digitalize the voting proces.
Fleur is a well known security expert and CISO, working for multiple Dutch government organisations in the past. She currently works as CISO for the Dutch Electoral Council and has developed a fascination with digitalized voting and voting machines.
She also has a podcast (Dutch language) called "CISO praat" on security related subjects.
