چکیده
Electronic petition systems support participation in the democratic decision-making process. However, current petition systems often have serious drawbacks in reliability and anonymity. This paper presents PetAnon, a privacy-preserving petition system that tries to tackle the shortcomings of existing systems. A proof-ofconcept implementation is presented that uses the Belgian eID card in a bootstrap procedure, after which users are allowed to sign petitions anonymously, while certain constraints may be imposed.

Privacy preserving electronic petitions
We present the design of a secure and privacy preserving epetition system that we have implemented as a proof-of-concept demonstrator. We use the Belgian e-ID card as source of authentication, and then proceed to issue an anonymous credential that is used to sign petitions. Our system ensures that duplicate signatures are detectable, while preserving the anonymity of petition signers. We analyz...
متن کاملSecure and Privacy - Preserving Broadcast Authentication for IVC
Vehicle-to-Vehicle(V2V) communication is a part of the future vehicular network. As the location information of vehicles is broadcasted frequently, there is a demand on privacy protection on this information. In this thesis we defined the requirements on privacy-protection broadcast authentication schemes for V2V communication. We analyzed the existing authentication schemes according to the re...
متن کاملAnalysis of Revocation Strategies for Anonymous Idemix Credentials
In an increasing information-driven society, preserving privacy is essential. Anonymous credentials promise a solution to protect the user’s privacy. However, to ensure accountability, efficient revocation mechanisms are essential. Having classified existing revocation strategies, we implemented one variant for each. In this paper we describe our classification and compare our implementations. ...
متن کاملAnonymous k -Show Credentials
Privacy-preserving digital credentials are cryptographic tools that allow a user to prove a predicate about his/her identity or qualifications, without the verifying party learning additional information beyond the status of that predicate. The Identity Mixer (Idemix) [CL01] is a framework providing such credentials. In Idemix, we can distinguish two types of credentials: (1) one-time show cred...

Electronic health record (EHR) system facilitates integrating patients' medical information and improves service productivity. However, user access to patient data in a privacy-preserving manner is still challenging problem. Many studies concerned with security and privacy in EHR systems. Rezaeibagha and Mu [1] have proposed a hybrid architecture for privacy-preserving accessing patient records...
