Sharing is caring! Building trust in a system through transparency: lessons from Swiss Post E-Voting system
Byte Size (BEGINNER level)
In this 20-minute presentation, we explore the question of how to build trust in a system, through a dynamic Q&A format between two presenters, where each new question challenges the previous answer.
Based on our experience with the Swiss Post E-Voting system, we share our secure software development best practices.
We clarify the common misconception that secrecy equals security, and dive into the real challenges developers face when building secure and auditable applications. Topics include code conventions, rigorous code reviews, reproducible build, and the realities of publishing a code base.
This talk is aimed at developers, security engineers, and anyone interested in open source and digital trust.
Attendees will leave with practical insights and best practices they can apply to their own systems.
