## Cryptographic details and references
2018-01-20 22:26:19 +11:00
Eos aims to be implementation-agnostic with respect to cryptographic details, with the included *eos.psr* package providing an example implementation.
For details of the implementation, refer to the [*Eos Voting Technical Report*](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1jjM5hkIBSZ8LryI12yPsuWv32Id7VjTC).

## Mother of all disclaimers
2017-09-27 23:56:00 +10:00
This is a fun side-project of mine, and should in no way be considered to be a serious attempt to build a production-ready election system suitable for real world deployment. Not even crypto experts are quite up to the task, and I am most certainly not a crypto expert, nor am I anything resembling a professional in any field even tangentially related to cryptographic elections.
I cannot guarantee the security of this implementation whatsoever. In fact, I would go so far as to guarantee that this software has so many holes it gives Swiss cheese a run for its money. That said, please feel free to roast Eos on the issue tracker!
