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...
متن کاملA general ballot theorem
We prove an analogue of the classical ballot theorem that holds for any random walk in the range of attraction of the normal distribution. Our result is best possible: we exhibit examples demonstrating that if any of our hypotheses are removed, our conclusions may no longer hold.
متن کاملBallot Secrecy and Ballot Independence Coincide
We study ballot independence for election schemes: – We formally define ballot independence as a cryptographic game and prove that ballot secrecy implies ballot independence. – We introduce a notion of controlled malleability and show that it is sufficient for ballot independence. We also show that non-malleable ballots are sufficient, but not necessary, for ballot independence. – We prove that...
متن کاملThe Ballot Problem
If there are two candidates for an elective office and 2n voters such that n vote for one candidate and n vote for the other candidate, then in how many ways can one sequentially count the votes so that a given candidate is always ahead or tied with the other candidate? This is called the Ballot Problem. Variations of this problem and algorithmic lexicographic orderings for these sequences will...
متن کاملThe short step from physics to ecology
radiological research once threatened to displace innovative genetic investigations, today it is an overweening emphasis on molecular work that distorts the research agenda. “People who understand how to do classical genetics with mice are very thin on the ground,” says Lyon. Even worse, the future of mutant mouse lines throughout the world is far from secure. “Grantgivers tend not to want to p...
