What are the benefits of "LGG/IDC"?
Customisability:
LGG can be adapted to your needs by offering a large number of possible logging points and enabling administrators to choose which points to enable. Some sensitive logging events however may not be deselected.
Encryption and Data Integrity:
All logging entries are of course encrypted, in addition, the integrity of each log record and of the log as a whole is maintained by checking values (SHA-1 hash) which are checked when the log is accessed.
Multi-dimensional Structure:
The log entries are stored in a multi-dimensional cube structure, which enables fast and specific search capabilities, e.g.:
all log entries for a certain constituency, all log entries for a certain voter, all system alarms.
Complete Auditability:
EVOTE offers a large number of standard reports that enable audits over the entire life cycle of an election. In addition, customer-specific reports may be added at any time due to the flexible structure of the logging system. All EVOTE components including VRL and SKM use the logging and auditing system, hence providing a seamless and comprehensive audit trail.
Integration in Access Concept:
LGG seamlessly integrates into a role-based access concept ensuring that users can only access information where they are authorized to do so.
Re-use:
LGG is a .net dll assembly with defined and documented interfaces as well as standard reports that may be used by any other application that can access .net assemblies. LGG also works with its own separate database, which makes it easily separable from EVOTE.
Since some dimensions of the LGG data warehouse structure can be redefined, the system may adapt to a wide variety of applications and also integrate in their respective access concept.
