Practical Remote Electronic Elections for the UK
نویسندگان
چکیده
The United Kingdom (UK) government has repeatedly expressed a desire to employ a Remote Electronic Voting (REV) system in a general election after 2006. Most existing REV schemes employ some form of cryptography, either to secure transmission of votes, or to model some desirable feature of public elections. This paper outlines the limitations of employing cryptographic REV schemes and proposes an alternative, polsterless scheme, that provides a practical possibility for implementing remote electronic voting in the UK.

Polsterless Remote Electronic Voting
Remote electronic voting is currently being piloted in the UK as a means of increasing the convenience of casting a ballot, which it is hoped will be reflected in an increased participation in elections. Most proposed electronic voting schemes envisage the use of cryptography in order to model the features of democratic elections, which, informally, include notions such as the secret ballot and...
متن کاملA practical and secure coercion-resistant scheme for remote elections
Juels, Catalano, and Jakobsson (JCJ) proposed at WPES 2005 the first scheme that considers real-world threats and that is more realistic for remote elections. Their scheme, though, has quadratic work factor and thereby is not efficient for large scale elections. Based on the work of JCJ, Smith proposed an efficient scheme that has linear work factor. In this paper we first show that the Smith’s...
متن کاملThe Case for Networked Remote Voting Precincts
Voting in national elections from the comfort of one’s home computer may never be practical or secure, but we argue that remote network voting can be both practical and secure. Provisional and postal absentee ballots, which trade some amount of anonymity for the ability to determine the eligibility of a distant voter, serve as a template for how electronic remote voting might proceed. We propos...
متن کاملSecurity Considerations for Remote Electronic Voting over the Internet
This paper discusses the security considerations for remote electronic voting in public elections. In particular, we examine the feasibility of running national federal elections over the Internet. The focus of this paper is on the limitations of the current deployed infrastructure in terms of the security of the hosts and the Internet itself. We conclude that at present, our infrastructure is ...
متن کاملSecure and Practical Online Elections via Voting Service Provider
Our paper deals with the question how remote e-voting can be put into practice in a secure and at the same time feasible way. We show that outsourcing the technical implementation of electronic elections to a Voting Service Provider (VSP) is one solution to this problem. Our concept can help election hosts to easily conduct electronic elections without having to take care of the necessary secur...
