Simple and Secure Electronic Voting with Prêt á Voter
نویسنده
چکیده
Prêt à Voter is an electronic voting system with very high security properties. We aim to make the system truly usable and applicable in elections with many races and candidates by allowing the vote to be formed using a voting machine and by printing a minimalistic receipt. We also introduce the procedure/technology mix concept to describe the use of procedures, people and technology to secure electronic voting systems.

A New Receipt-Free E-Voting Scheme Based on Blind Signature (Abstract)
Electronic voting has attracted much interest recently and a variety of schemes have been proposed. Generally speaking, all these schemes can be divided into three main approaches: based on blind signature, based on mix networks and based on homomorphic encryption. Schemes based on blind signature are thought to be simple, efficient, and suitable for large scale elections. Fujioka, Okamoto and ...
متن کاملEnd-to-end veriable voting with Prêt à Voter
Transparent and verifiable elections can be achieved by end-to-end verifiable electronic voting systems. The purpose of such systems is to enable voters to verify the inclusion of their vote in the final tally while keeping the votes secret. Achieving verifiability and secrecy at the same time is hard and this thesis explores the properties of verifiable electronic voting systems and describes ...
متن کاملPrêt á Voter with Write-Ins
This paper presents an extension of the Prêt à Voter verifiable voting system to handle write-ins. This is achieved by introducing an additional ‘Write-In’ option and allowing the voter optionally to enter a write-in candidate of their choice. The voter obtains a receipt which includes their write-in, but that receipt does not indicate whether the write-in candidate was selected or not. The sys...
متن کاملPrêt à Voter: All-In-One
A number of voter-verifiable electronic voting schemes have been introduced in the recent decades. These schemes not only provide each voter with a receipt without the threat of coercion and ballot selling, but also the ballot tallying phase can be publicly verified. Furthermore, these schemes are robust because the power of authorities can be threshold distributed. Generally speaking, the homo...
متن کاملParallel Shuffling and Its Application to Prêt à Voter
We consider the problem of verifiable parallel shuffling in which the same shuffle is simultaneously performed on two or more lists of input ciphertexts, each list encrypted under a different key. We present three parallelisations of shuffle proofs from different paradigms. The properties of each protocol are analyzed and contrasted, and their suitability for electronic voting discussed. We sho...
