Remote Electronic Voting with Revocable Anonymity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new remote, coercion-free electronic voting protocol which satisfies a number of properties previously considered contradictory. We introduce (and justify) the idea of revocable anonymity in electronic voting, on the grounds of it being a legal requirement in the United Kingdom, and show a method of proving the validity of a ballot to a verifier in zero knowledge, by extension of known two-candidate proofs.

متن کاملTrue Trustworthy Elections: Remote Electronic Voting Using Trusted Computing
We present a new remote, coercion-resistant electronic voting protocol which satisfies a number of properties previously considered contradictory. We introduce trusted computing as a method of ensuring the trustworthiness of remote voters, and provide an extension to our protocol allowing revocable anonymity, on the grounds of it being a legal requirement in the United Kingdom.
متن کاملAuditable Envelopes: Tracking Anonymity Revocation Using Trusted Computing
In this paper, we discuss a protocol allowing the remote user of a system providing revocable anonymity to be assured of whether or not her anonymity is revoked. We achieve this via a novel use of Trusted Computing and Virtual Monotonic Counters. The protocol has wideranging scope in a variety of computer security fields, such as electronic cash, fair exchange and electronic voting.
متن کاملDouble voter perceptible blind signature based electronic voting protocol
Mu et al. have proposed an electronic voting protocol and claimed that it protects anonymity of voters, detects double voting and authenticates eligible voters. It has been shown that it does not protect voter's privacy and prevent double voting. After that, several schemes have been presented to fulfill these properties. However, many of them suffer from the same weaknesses. In this p...
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...
