Research and Development Team

Scytl’s R&D team is formed by leading cryptography and eVoting security academic researchers and industry experts. The department leads the definition of new cryptographic eVoting protocols, the design of new products and improvement of existing ones. The team actively contributes to the eVoting industry research effort through the publication of articles and participating in international conferences. Scytl’s R&D experts advise governments, international institutions and private companies on the implementation of their election modernization and eVoting strategies.
