Elliptic Curve Array Ballots for Homomorphic Tallying Elections

چکیده
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.

Homomorphic 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 کاملAn Elliptic Curve Based Homomorphic Remote Voting System
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-...
متن کاملRunning Mixnet-Based Elections with Helios
The Helios voting system is an open-audit web-based voting system that has been used by various institutions in real-stake elections during the last few years. While targeting the simplicity of the election workflow, the homomorphic tallying process used in Helios limits its suitability for many elections (large number of candidates, specific ballot filling rules, . . . ). We present a variant ...
متن کاملPrêt à Voter: All-In-One
A number of voter-verifiable electronic voting schemes have been introduced in the recent decades. These schemes not only provide each voter with a receipt without the threat of coercion and ballot selling, but also the ballot tallying phase can be publicly verified. Furthermore, these schemes are robust because the power of authorities can be threshold distributed. Generally speaking, the homo...
متن کاملReceipt-Free Homomorphic Elections and Write-in Voter Verified Ballots
We present a voting protocol that protects voters’ privacy and achieves universal verifiability, receipt-freeness, and uncoercibility without ad hoc physical assumptions or procedural constraints (such as untappable channels, voting booths, smart cards, third-party randomizers, and so on). We discuss under which conditions the scheme allows voters to cast write-in ballots, and we show how it ca...
