An Elliptic Curve Based Homomorphic Remote Voting System
نویسندگان
چکیده
A remote voting system allows participants to cast their ballots through the Internet. Remote voting systems based on the use of homomorphic public key cryptography have proven to be a good option for carrying out simple elections with a reduced amount of candidates. In this paper, we present a new system that makes use of the additive homomorphic capabilities of the Elliptic Curve ElGamal (EC-ElGamal) cryptosystem. All the stages of the system are described together with an experimental analysis section which provides an assessment on the type of election our system would be suitable for.

Elliptic Curve Array Ballots for Homomorphic Tallying Elections
Remote voting systems implementing the homomorphic tallying paradigm have proven to be the best option for elections with a small range of candidates. In this paper, we propose a new homomorphic tallying remote voting system that makes use of elliptic curve cryptography. The proposed system is suitable for multiple choice elections. Detailed security and performance analysis are provided.
متن کاملHomomorphic Tallying for the Estonian Internet Voting System
In this paper we study the feasibility of using homomorphic tallying in the Estonian Internet voting system. The paper analyzes the security benefits provided by homomorphic tallying, the costs introduced and the required changes to the voting system. We find that homomorphic tallying has several security benefits, such as improved ballot secrecy, public verifiability of the vote tallying serve...
متن کاملSimple and efficient hash-based verifiable mixing for remote electronic voting
Please cite this article in press as: F. Sebé et al., doi:10.1016/j.comcom.2009.11.013 Remote voting permits an election to be carried out through telecommunication networks. In this way, its participants are not required to physically move to the polling place. Votes are automatically collected and counted so that once the election ends, the results can be published after a very short delay. S...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of Secure Remote e-Voting System Using Homomorphic Encryption
Internet polling also known as “e-voting” became popular in past few years, since it reduces the tallying cost and time, increases the number of voter participation, also reduces the human resources and the traditional work that means less fraud and corruption. In this paper, a remote e-Voting system is designed and implemented using homomorphic encryption. The homomorphic property in ElGamal c...
متن کاملThe new protocol blind digital signature based on the discrete logarithm problem on elliptic curve
In recent years it has been trying that with regard to the question of computational complexity of discrete logarithm more strength and less in the elliptic curve than other hard issues, applications such as elliptic curve cryptography, a blind digital signature method, other methods such as encryption replacement DLP. In this paper, a new blind digital signature scheme based on elliptic curve...
