Formalising Receipt-Freeness
نویسندگان
چکیده
Receipt-freeness is the property of voting protocols that a voter cannot create a receipt which proves how she voted. Since Benaloh and Tuinstra introduced this property, there has been a large amount of work devoted to the construction of receipt-free voting protocols. This paper provides a generic and uniform formalism that captures the notion of a receipt. The formalism is then applied to analyse the receipt-freeness of a number of voting protocols.

Formalising security properties in electronic voting protocols
While electronic elections promise the possibility of convenient, efficient and secure facilities for recording and tallying votes, recent studies have highlighted inadequacies in implemented systems. These inadequacies provide additional motivation for applying formal methods to the validation of electronic voting protocols. In this paper we report on some of our recent efforts in using the ap...
متن کاملA Formal Logic Framework for Receipt-freeness in Internet Voting Protocol
The practical Internet voting protocols should have: privacy, completeness, soundness, unreusability, fairness, eligibility, and invariableness, universal verifiability, receipt-freeness, coercion-resistant. Receiptfreeness is a key property. Receipt-freeness means that the voter can't produce a receipt to prove that he votes a special ballot. Its purpose is to protect against vote buying. Form...
متن کاملStephanie Delaune , Steve Kremer and Mark D . Ryan Coercion - Resistance and Receipt - Freeness in Electronic Voting Research Report LSV - 06 - 08 April 2006
In this paper we formally study important properties of electronic voting protocols. In particular we are interested in coercion-resistance and receipt-freeness. Intuitively, an election protocol is coercion-resistant if a voter A cannot prove to a potential coercer C that she voted in a particular way. We assume that A cooperates with C in an interactive way. Receipt-freeness is a weaker prope...
متن کاملReceipt-Freeness as a Special Case of Anonymity in Epistemic Logic?
Formal methods have provided us with tools to check both anonymity of protocols and – more specifically – receipt-freeness of voting protocols. One of the frameworks used for proving anonymity is epistemic logic. However, to the best of our knowledge, epistemic logic has never been used to prove receipt-freeness of voting protocols. Still, the concept of indistinguishability used in formalizing...
متن کاملVote buying revisited: implications for receipt-freeness
In this paper, we analyse the concept of vote buying based on examples that try to stretch the meaning of the concept. Which examples can still be called vote buying, and which cannot? We propose several dimensions that are relevant to qualifying an action as vote buying or not. As a means of protection against vote buying and coercion, the concept of receipt-freeness has been proposed. We argu...
