Scope

Implement POLYAS behind voting.provider., initially as an explicit operator-assisted handoff and later through a contracted machine interface.

Implementable now

  • export a frozen ballot/electorate handoff with hashes and provenance;
  • retain provider project/product/profile references and operator evidence;
  • import bounded signed result/protocol artifacts and verify the frozen binding;
  • expose assisted/manual state honestly in administration and audit history;
  • prevent voter credentials and raw votes from crossing the provider boundary.

Vendor input required for unattended operation

  • contracted API/protocol and versioning policy;
  • sandbox and representative fixtures;
  • exact ballot/electorate/weight/replacement semantics;
  • idempotency, sealing, cancellation, retry, and outcome-unknown behavior;
  • signed result/archive formats;
  • current certificate, Security Target, maintenance evidence, and evaluated configuration;
  • DPA, location, retention, incident, recovery, and continuity terms.

The public product UI is not a production API. Browser automation and screen scraping are excluded.

Certification warning

BSI-DSZ-CC-0862-V2-2021 was valid through 2026-06-24. Do not enable external_certified from that historical certificate alone. See docs/POLYAS_PROVIDER_PROFILE.md.
