Provable Election Verifiability and Security

CASCADES is a low-cost, open source, FPGA-based demonstration of a secure and end-to-end-verifiable voting system. It comes pre-installed with a custom RISC-V CPU softcore and can be configured and customized as needed.

CASCADES is meant for widespread use in project-based academic and professional development courses that teach cybersecurity topics such as secure hardware design and verification, secure coding, secure compilation, and election security.
