چکیده

The remaining sections may be summarized as follows: (1) previous work on voting protocols and some related protocols underlying the present proposal are surveyed; (2) the ballot issuing protocol and its properties are presented separately, being the heart of the present contribution; (3) the model and overall voting protocol are presented based on the ballot issuing protocol; (4) some simple ways to apply the techniques to payment and credential systems are mentioned; and ( 5 ) the assumptions and several further points related to the protocols are discussed.

An Introduction to PunchScan

Punchscan is a precinct-read optical-scan balloting system that allows voters to take their ballot with them after scanning. This does not violate the secret ballot principle because the ballots cannot be read without secret information held by the authority in charge of the election. In fact, this election authority will publish the ballots for everyone to see, allowing voters whose ballots we...

Breaking RSA May Be Easier Than Factoring

We provide evidence that breaking low-exponent rsa cannot be equivalent to factoring integers. We show that an algebraic reduction from factoring to breaking low-exponent rsa can be converted into an e cient factoring algorithm. Thus, in e ect an oracle for breaking rsa does not help in factoring integers. Our result suggests an explanation for the lack of progress in proving that breaking rsa ...

Preference intensity representation: strategic overstating in large elections

If voters vote strategically, is it useful to offer them the possibility of expressing nuanced opinions, or would they always overstate the intensity of their preferences? For additive voting rules, say that a ballot is extremal if it is neither abstention-like nor can be expressed as a mixture of the available ballots. We give a sufficient condition for strategic equivalence: if two rules shar...

A quantum secret ballot

Boaz Tamir Department of Philosophy of Science, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan, Israel.‡ Abstract The paper concerns the protection of the secrecy of ballots, so that the identity of the voters cannot be matched with their vote. To achieve this we use an entangled quantum state to represent the ballots. Each ballot includes the identity of the voter, explicitly marked on the ”envelope” containi...
