dc.description.abstract	Universities must constantly seek ways to upgrade their information systems in order to provide effective and efficient services while holding costs down and protecting the flow of information. The protection of information is a critical issue that becomes increasingly difficult as computers and networks proliferate and the applications that run on them become more sophisticated and complex. There are areas in the University of Victoria where modem computer technology could improve information security. We describe several of these areas, then select one, campus elections, for detailed study. The main goals of the detailed study are to reveal how the conventional voting systems of the University are insecure and to illustrate how electronic voting systems can improve on their deficiencies. Several example voting systems, including two developed by the author, are analysed and compared. A functional prototype of one of the systems, produced by the author, is also described.
