A simple public demonstration of a Tempest vulnerability of a voting machine in 2006 eventually ended the use of electronic voting equipment in ballot stations in the Netherlands. This event set a particularly high bar for the side-channel security requirements of future generations of such equipment, due to the low information rate that needs to be protected in a voting system. This talk looks back at some of the security specifications and implementation guidance that were subsequently proposed, and some attack techniques that are of particular concern.
