Problem

Online voting systems are an attractive target. The goal was a web-based balloting system hardened against common web application attacks, SQL injection in particular, since vote integrity depends on the backend being trustworthy against exactly that class of attack.

Approach

Designed a web-based voting system with its data layer hardened against SQL injection and other common attack vectors.

Outcome

The basis for two peer-reviewed publications:
