Why Public Registration Boards are Required in E-Voting Systems Based on Threshold Blind Signature Protocols
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we demonstrate that e-voting protocols based on threshold blind signatures from multiple authorities allow a coalition of eligible voters to cast more than votes. This property presents a serious violation of the principles of democracy in the voting process. We analyze the applicability of this violation and provide a generic solution using a public registration board and modified threshold signature schemes.

Double 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 کاملRerandomizable Threshold Blind Signatures
This paper formalizes the concept of threshold blind signatures (TBS) that bridges together properties of the two well-known signature flavors, blind signatures and threshold signatures. Using TBS users can obtain signatures through interaction with t-out-of-n signers without disclosing the corresponding message to any of them. Our construction is the first TBS scheme that achieves security in ...
متن کاملElectronic Voting Protocols Based on Blind Signatures
In this paper, we review the electronic voting protocols based on blind signature scheme. These protocols try to fulfil the following electronic voting requirements: eligibility, privacy, receipt-freeness, fairness, accuracy, individual verifiability and universal verifiability. Some of them like eligibility and privacy are easily achieved by the nature of blind signatures; on the other hand, s...
متن کاملLecture 18 : Mix net Voting Systems
In the previous lecture, we defined the notion of an electronic voting system, and specified the requirements from such a system. In particular, we required an electronic voting system to be verifiable and robust. Loosely speaking, a voting system is said to be verifiable if any individual can verify that his vote was counted. A voting system is said to be robust if there does not exist any sma...
متن کاملAn ID-based Blind Signature Scheme from Bilinear Pairings
Blind signatures, introduced by Chaum, allow a user to obtain a signature on a message without revealing any thing about the message to the signer. Blind signatures play an important role in plenty of applications such as e-voting, e-cash system where anonymity is of great concern. Identity based(ID-based) public key cryptography can be a good alternative for certificate based public key settin...
