Masked Ballot Voting for Receipt-Free Online Elections
نویسندگان
چکیده
To prevent bribery and coercion attacks on voters, current online election schemes rely on strong physical assumptions during the election. We introduce Masked Ballot, an online voting scheme that mitigates these attacks while using a more practical assumption: untappable channels are available but only before the election. During the election voters cast ballots over completely public channels without relying on untappable channels, anonymous channels or trusted devices. Masked Ballot performs only the voting part of an election and is designed to integrate with counting schemes that compute the final election result.

However, in the following paper, Okamoto [31] proved that the scheme [30] was not receipt-free and presented two improved schem...
