An e-Voting Scheme with Improved Resistance to Bribe and Coercion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bribe and coercion are common in conventional voting systems and usually will lead to a biased result that imparts the desired democracy. However, these problems become more difficult to solve when using e-voting schemes. Up to now, many e-voting schemes have been proposed to provide receipt-freeness and uncoercibility to solve these problems. Unfortunately, none is both secure and practical enough. In this paper, we describe an e-voting scheme that can solve or at least lessen the problems of bribe and coercion, and can be realized with current techniques. By using smart cards to randomize part content of the ballot, the voter can not construct a receipt. By using physical voting booths, bribers and coercers can not monitor the voter while he votes. Unlike conventional voting systems, the voter of the proposed scheme can choose any voting booth that is convenient and safe to him. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed schemes is optimal in that time and communication complexity for the voter is independent of the number of voting authorities.

The secure remote Internet voting protocol play an important role in Internet voting system. The direction of development of remote Internet voting protocol is that implementation of receipt-freeness and coercion-resistance is from with strong physical assumptions to with weak physical assumptions. The final purpose is that receiptfreeness and coercion-resistance is implemented without physical...
متن کاملCoercion Resistant End-to-end Voting
End-to-end voting schemes have shown considerable promise for allowing voters to verify that tallies are accurate. At the same time, the threat of coercion has generally been considered only when voting devices are honest, and in many schemes, voters can be forced or incentivized to cast votes of an adversary’s choice. In this paper, we examine the issue of voter coercion and identify one examp...
متن کاملCoercion-Resistant Electronic Elections with Write-In Candidates
It is often argued in the e-voting community that in the presence of write-in candidates, forced abstention attacks are always possible. Therefore, write-in candidates are often excluded in existing definitions of coercion-resistance arguing that those definitions cannot be achieved by write-in supporting schemes. This is only true if the tally is made public directly. Coercionresistance may we...

In traditional voting schemes with paper, pens, and ballot-boxes, appropriate procedures are put in place to reassure voters that the result of the tally is correct. Considering that in Internet voting errors or fraud will generally scale over a much greater fraction of votes, the demand to get strong reassurances as well, seems more than justified. With the ambition of offering a maximum degre...
متن کاملCoercion-Resistant Remote Voting using Decryption Mixes
The recently proposed Prêt à Voter election scheme uses decryption mixes to achieve anonymity of votes and verifiability of an election while requiring minimal trust in the component of the election system that performs these mixes. However, this scheme still requires trust in several human and machine components; these requirements make the scheme impractical for use in remote voting. To adapt...
