Blind Signatures in Electronic Voting Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Electronic voting systems are created to facilitate the election, accelerate voting and counting votes and increase turnout for the election. The main problems of the electronic systems are related with the assurance of system security (cryptographic security and protection against frauds) and a guarantee that the voters are anonymous. The authorization of voters and the anonymity of them seem to be contradictory, but it is possible to create such a system where the both requirements are met. Some solutions, the most common e-voting systems, are presented in the paper. These models are adjusted to the demands and implemented in the polls system for quality of teaching evaluation where anonymity is very important. The blind signature protocol, model directed to user’s anonymity, is a very good solution of the authorization and anonymity problem in the polls system with remote access only, as it was described in the paper.

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 کاملWhy Public Registration Boards are Required in E-Voting Systems Based on Threshold Blind Signature Protocols
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 modifi...
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 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 کاملNew ID-based Fair Blind Signatures
A blind signature scheme is a cryptographic primitive in which a user can obtain a signature from the signer without revealing any information about message signature pair. Blind signatures are used in electronic payment systems, electronic voting machines etc. The anonymity of blind signature scheme can be misused by criminals by money laundering or by dubious money. To prevent these crimes, t...
متن کاملVotinbox - a voting system based on smart cards
The complexity of voting procedures, and their variations from country to country, make it challenging to design a secure electronic voting system. In most of the usual proposals, the security of the system relies mainly on a blackbox voting machine. Meanwhile, the most advanced proposals base their security arguments on (complicated) cryptographic protocols, e.g. blind signatures or homomorphi...
