VOTING AUTHENTICATION

HOW DO WE IDENTIFY OURSELVES IN ORDER TO PARTICIPATE?

Authentication seeks to corroborate and ensure that the person who participates in the platforms is who he/she claims to be.

There are several authentication mechanisms, some more robust than others. In general, the more complex -and therefore secure- the authentication method, the more complicated the procedure becomes for the participants. In EVoting we seek a balance between a secure authentication mechanism and a user-friendly participation system that facilitates the process.

For some authentication mechanisms, we work with an external provider, whose contract stipulates that EVoting cannot store the personal information of those who use it.

We have defined 8 main authentication mechanisms, which combine different security variables, depending on the type of platform and participation.

Number of the National Identity Card and serial number of the same document (Mechanism for exclusive use in Chile).

2. IDENTITY DOCUMENT + DOCUMENT NUMBER + SMS
