SBSeg 2025: XXV Brazilian Symposium on Cybersecurity
Foz do Iguaçu – PR, September 1-4, 2025

https://sbseg.sbc.org.br/2025  

Since introducing DREs in 1996, Brazil has been increasingly adopting electronic elections, with several technologies being continually incorporated into the system, such as security hardware and biometrics. The academic community, particularly the segment focused on Information Security, is an important part of this as it proposes and discusses improvements and promotes solutions with greater robustness, reliability, and auditability. Ultimately, this collaboration allows us to distinguish empty and fallacious criticisms, which have become very common in recent years, from fundamental points of improvement in the system.

The VII Electoral Technology Workshop is a scientific event organized as a satellite event of the XXV Brazilian Symposium on Information Security and Computer Systems (SBSeg 2025). The event’s main objective is to promote research in electoral technology, integrating the Brazilian community of researchers and professionals interested in issues related to electronic voting.

In this edition, WTE will be accepting papers in extended abstract format. Submitted papers must present original research results, even if preliminary. The paper must describe the context in which the work is inserted, rigorous research details (or relevant case studies), and conclusions consistent with the results.

Paper submission must be done exclusively in PDF format through the SBC JEMS3 system. They can be written in Portuguese or English; Its formatting must follow the SBC model for publishing in the required format (up to 4 pages), including figures, tables, references, and appendices.

All papers must be submitted anonymously, that is, they must avoid any information in the article header, text, and references that links the work to the authors and their institutions.

To be published in the event proceedings, accepted papers must be presented at the event by one of the authors. The presentation time will be determined according to the number of accepted papers and the depth of each contribution.
