Versatile Prêt à Voter: Handling Multiple Election Methods with a Unified Interface
نویسندگان
چکیده
A number of end-to-end verifiable voting schemes have been introduced recently. These schemes aim to allow voters to verify that their votes have contributed in the way they intended to the tally and in addition allow anyone to verify that the tally has been generated correctly. These goals must be achieved while maintaining voter privacy and providing receipt-freeness. However, most of these end-to-end voting schemes are only designed to handle a single election method and the voter interface varies greatly between different schemes. In this paper, we introduce a scheme which handles many of the popular election methods that are currently used around the world. Our scheme not only ensures privacy, receipt-freeness and end-to-end verifiability, but also keeps the voter interface simple and consistent between various election methods.

The Prêt à Voter Verifiable Election System
The Prêt à Voter election system has undergone several revisions and enhancements since its inception in 2004, resulting in a family of election systems designed to provide end-to-end verifiability and a high degree of transparency while ensuring secrecy of the ballot. Assurance for these systems arises from the auditability of the election itself, rather than the need to place trust in the sys...

Prêt à Voter is a supervised, end-to-end verifiable voting scheme. Informal analyses indicate that, subject to certain assumptions, Prêt à Voter is receipt free, i.e. a voter has no way to construct a proof to a coercer of how she voted. In this paper we propose a variant of Prêt à Voter and prove receipt freeness of this scheme using computational methods. Our proof shows that if there exists ...

This paper discusses the findings of a series of four focus group sessions carried out on a variant of the original Prêt à Voter prototype implementation [2]. The aim of these sessions was to investigate users’ ability to use the system, to discover any inadequacies of the system, and to gauge the participants’ understanding of its security mechanisms. The groups also discussed general issues a...
متن کاملExperiences Gained from the first Prêt à Voter Implementation
Implementing an electronic voting system for the first time can be difficult, since requirements are sometimes hard to specify and keep changing, resources are scarce in an academic setting, the gap between theory and practice is wider than anticipated, adhering to a formal development lifecycle is inconvenient and delivery on time is very hard. This paper describes all of the work done by the ...
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...
