GOVCERT.NL Symposium 2008. 16 & 17 September - World Trade Center Rotterdam
How Sustainable is Your Security?
Mark Koek Co-ordinator of Security Audits Fox-IT

Mark has been working in internet security since 1999, initially in incident response (working for FIRST, GOVCERT.NL, plus other companies) and, later on, in security auditing and penetration testing. Over the years, he has performed tests at almost 50 clients, mainly in the government and financial sectors. He is currently co-ordinating a team of technical security auditors at Fox-IT (www.fox-it.com). Today, he focuses mainly on managing complicated penetration testing assignments, involving, for example, cryptographic systems, mobile devices, building security, and particularly sensitive critical infrastructure environments.

Security issues in an advanced internet voting system Tuesday 16 September, 15:45 - 16:30, Diamond Room

The Dutch Water Boards are planning to hold national elections in November 2008. As always, they will be holding a postal ballot. Originally the Water Boards planned to offer voters the option of casting their vote using the internet, by means of the "Rijnland Internet Election System" (RIES).

The national government asked Fox-IT to try and find possible security weaknesses in the proposed system. Based (amongst other things) on the results of this audit, the internet voting project was cancelled.

This presentation will outline the (mainly cryptographic) weaknesses that Fox-IT discovered in the proposed internet-voting system.
