Weird, I am also mainly contrasting US and Swiss business culture, and I've come to the exact opposite conclusions. In Switzerland, every interaction with any large enterprise can be done entirely on your phone, fast, securely and conveniently.
The SBB, the post office, the banks, the city of Zurich, the tax office - all of them let you do everything online. And unlike the US versions of these things, it actually works!
The only thing you can't do online is vote, and that's probably a good thing.

- t8sr 4y agoOh I'm aware. I both work in infosec and live in Switzerland, so naturally I've been following the saga quite closely. The current version is the scytl-developed monstrosity, which will hopefully never be deployed: 1) The developer went out of business 2) People keep finding vulnerabilities in it, like the operator being able to change the votes. 3) Listen: I've been in Security for 20 years and the idea of E-voting is absolutely terrifying to me. It should never, ever, ever happen as long as those systems are developed and operated by humans.
