Abstract
Assessing and comparing the security level of different voting systems is non-trivial as the technical means provided for and societal assumptions made about various systems differ significantly. However, trust assumptions concerning the involved parties are present for all voting systems and can be used as a basis for comparison. This paper discusses eight concrete voting systems with different properties, 12 types of parties involved, and seven general security goals set for voting. The emerging trust relations are assessed for their criticality, and the result is used for comparison of the considered systems.
