Paper Abstract:
|
RFID technology often is suspected to provide means of undesired surveillance and observation of people in their roles,
e.g., as private persons, customers of any business or employees. Here, an opposite scope of application sample shows
how such technology based on intelligent smart cards can help improving secrecy in a sensitive environment. The annual
election runs for the representatives of the studentship of Ulm University have to be operated in a way that it cannot be
tracked, who is electing how often. On the other hand, it has to be ensured that voting is not abused, hence some entrance
check is obligatory. The technical solution presented here is using a prototype mobile phone, which is equipped with a
communication module for contact-less information exchange with the student ID. In addition to ensuring confidentiality,
with this mobile vote administration system the studentship of Ulm University has the opportunity of enhancing the
operation of the election, because the election office is also mobile now and not fixed to any location in the University
buildings. This enables that the election assistants go out for the students instead of waiting for them to come, and by
that, the poll is likely to be increased. |
