Taking into account SHA1 cryptography weakness of the Dutch voting system, local television station RTL wanted the expert to examine the inconsistency of its parts.
Since 2009, the Dutch election precinct does not use the electronic voting because of the ministers’ prohibition. As a result, the electronic voting systems during counting bulletins result are considered to be insecure.
