EVT/WOTE 2009, Day 2

Day 2 of EVT/WOTE 2009 was on the highly mathematical side. The cryptographic papers and auditing papers were presented on Day 2. We started off with a superb tutorial by Ben Adida entitled "Voting Cryptography for Non-Cryptographers". Ben started from very basic concepts and then proceeded through various primitives ending up with my personal favorite, zero knowledge.

Frankly, I'm too tired to summarize more of the event. Suffice it to say that I'm very proud of our speakers and am thankful things went smoothly. It was such a rich event, on so many levels. I'm humbled to be a part of this community.
