  • We recognize that reports from experts represent a key contribution to improving the security of the system.
  • In our public e-voting community bug bounty programme, we pay rewards of up to EUR 230,000 for qualified vulnerabilities.
  • We respect the academic freedom of researchers.

What we expect from participants

  • Participants must respect the privacy of others and avoid destroying data and comprising the integrity of systems.
  • Participants should report their findings via the channels provided (cf. Contributions).
