Application Scenarios
Application Scenario: E-Voting:
EVOTE supports election committees in preparing, monitoring and counting elections or referenda. Its data is encrypted and protected from manipulation by multiple layers of security (s. description of EVOTE and LGG).
However, apart from formatted data a large number of documents are produced in the course of an election:
- Minutes and transcripts
- Load files
- Tables and analyses
- Applications, motions and notices
These documents are a non-technical, however material part of documentation and processing an election. SDS enables the secure deposit of such artefacts.
As from SP4 of Release 1 SDS is integrated in EVOTE. SDS saves EVOTE users to implement a separate document store, which may be expensive and burdensome.

Application Scenario: Document Management in Committees: *
In many business or public administration processes, documents are produced which should be stored in a secure and authenticated manner and should only be accessible to the group in its entirety or a pre-defined and unalterable quorum thereof. Examples include sensitive personal data, files in public procurement or security-sensitive plans or documents.
Only the defined quorum may access the documents.
The deposit of documents and (optionally) every access are logged in LGG. SDS is integrated in the Intrusion Detection Cockpit of LGG which causes an alarm when encountering suspicious system activities.
