A Verifiable Voting Protocol Based on Farnel
نویسندگان
چکیده
Farnel is a voting system proposed in 2001 in which each voter signs a ballot. It uses two ballot boxes to avoid the association between a voter and a vote. In this paper we first point out a flaw in the ThreeBallot system proposed by Rivest that seems to have gone unnoticed so far: it reveals statistical information about who is winning the election. Then, trying to resolve this and other flaws, we present a new, voter-verifiable version of the Farnel voting system in which voters retain copies of ballot IDs as receipts.

The scheme, however, relies on a strong requisite to achieve security: trustworthy talliers. With the goal of removing...
متن کاملImproving the Farnel, Threeballot, and Randell-Ryan Voting Schemes
A number of recent voting schemes provide the property of voter verifiability: voters can confirm that their votes are accurately counted in the tally. The Farnel type voting schemes are based on the observation that to achieve voter-verifiability it is not necessary for the voter to carry away a receipt corresponding to their own vote. The Farnel approach then is to provide voters, when they c...

In this paper we present eFarnel, a new electronic voting scheme based on the paper-based Farnel protocol. The new scheme corrects problems observed in previous proposes to simulate Farnel electronically. Moreover, we also define a new kind of mix net, called F-Mix-Net, which is required by our protocol.

متن کاملOn remote and voter-verifiable voting
Voting is an important tool for modern societies. It is fundamental for the democracy. This mechanism must be fair and accurate. However, threats intrinsic in the voting process may compromise these requisites. In conventional voting, dishonest talliers may corrupt the ballot box, for instance. Remote voting has more threats due to the uncontrolled environment. In this work, we propose secure p...
