A protected vote
EUSV
use an authentication on several
levels, analogous to the one
used by financial institutions
and online brokers.
The
voter is authenticated by the
juxtaposition of his elector
number with his personal information,
pre-defined and known only himself.
The
identity of the voter and his
vote is separated from the elector's
computer in two different databases.
This measure guarantees the
anonymity of the vote. To avoid
all fraud, the vote system annul
the pin-code once it has been
used, and this prevent any possibility
of cheating.
It
is not necessary to download
software for using our system
of online-vote.
All security solutions that
are used are within the industrial
norms and accounts with the
great number of plat-forms that
are available today.
An
intrusion detection software
(IDS) is used to control the
network activity. This software
is designed to detect any unusual
activity within the system or
the application. The ISD filtrate
and block this unusual activity
in order to avoid that it interfere
with the election servers.
All
the election servers is protected
against any attack by a software
firewall. The election website
is observed 24 hours, 7 days
out of 7, all intrusions are
diverted even before it has
succeeded to erase, destroy
or even modify the election
results.

Who can vote ?
Important
note :
All the students ( EU and non
EU ) are allowed to vote, submit
a list or candidate to the elections
if and only if they possess
a EU student card valid for
the university year 2001-2002
( EU student card meaning each
student card delivered by any
Higher Education Institution
of the European Union states
: Universities, Colleges, Grandes
Ecoles etc ).
Students
who possess a Student Card of
a higher Education establishment
in the European Union, that
is valid for the current University
Year Students can vote from
any computer that has an Internet
connection.
Other
case 1 :
If you are a student and you
are not living in an EU member
country: YOU
CANNOT VOTE. HOWEVER,
if you are located in a territory
that is not an EU member county,
you can participate by creating
a presentation of the project,
from a perspective outside the
EU.
Other case 2 :
You are living in the European
Union, but you are not a student:
YOU CANNOT
VOTE. HOWEVER, if
you are a professor or a member
of a European higher education
institution, you can become
a member of the University Partners
Network or Student Communication
Network.
Why
can only students in EU-countries
vote ?
The vote is restricted to students
in possession of a student card
from a European Union higher
education institution because
the whole project is centred
on European Union higher education
policies. It includes nevertheless
all foreign students studying
in the EU as they are a significant
component of the European Union
higher education.
Anyone
can follow the campaign: via
the numerous forums on EUSV
