147 - Intern Insights: Dr. Josh Benaloh with Anunay Kulshrestha and Karan Newatia
In this episode of the Microsoft Research Podcast series, two PhD students, Anunay Kulshrestha and Karan Newatia, talk to Senior Cryptographer Josh Benaloh about their work on ElectionGuard during their internship at Microsoft. ElectionGuard is a free, open-source toolkit that enables voters to verify that their votes have been accurately counted. The students discuss their contributions to extending ElectionGuard to mail-in voting and rank-choice voting, respectively, and what is needed for widespread adoption of this verifiable election technology. They also recommend a Microsoft internship to other students.
During their internship at Microsoft, the students had the opportunity to work alongside leading researchers in their respective fields and grow their knowledge as members of the research community. They also contributed to the development of ElectionGuard, which is now part of the newly formed nonprofit Election Technology Initiative. This initiative, which will join with Microsoft, aims to further ElectionGuard's growth and help advance its adoption. If you're interested in learning more about ElectionGuard, the project page provides more information.
Overall, this podcast episode offers valuable insights into the world of research and the importance of developing secure and verifiable election technology.
