چکیده
This paper describes a model and method whereby one agent can send a private message to another over a public channel from within a \hostile" environment in which the sending agent may be subject to extreme coercion both before and after the sending of the message. Coercive forces may demand that certain information be or not be sent, may monitor the channel over which the transmission will take place, and may require that the sending agent reveal all information after the transmission is complete. Nevertheless, the sending agent may claim to have sent one message while actually having sent another and will be unable to provide any kind of receipt to the coercer to show what message was actually sent.

Uncoercible e-Bidding Games
The notion of uncoercibility was first introduced in e-voting systems to deal with the coercion of voters. However this notion extends to many other esystems for which the privacy of users must be protected, even if the users wish to undermine their own privacy. In this paper we consider uncoercible e-bidding games. We discuss necessary requirements for uncoercibility, and present a general unc...
متن کاملUncoercible Communication and Deniable Encryption, or How to Lie With Impunity
Use of some cryptographic protocols implies a commitment to the data operated on by those protocols. For example, a digital signature may ensure the property of nonrepudiation: the signer would be unable to claim that the signed document is a forgery. Similarly, encrypting data can form a kind of commitment to the data: the decryption process reveals the committed plaintext. In some scenarios, ...
متن کاملUncoercible Anonymous Electronic Voting
Due to convenience and efficiency, electronic voting (e-voting) techniques gradually replace traditional paper-based voting activities in some developed countries. A secure anonymous e-voting system has to satisfy many properties, such as completeness, tally correctness, and uncoercibility, where the uncoercibility property is the most difficult one to be achieved. Since each voter can obtain a...
متن کاملAn Uncoercible Veriiable Electronic Voting Protocol
In this paper we present a veriiable voting protocol which removes the possibility of massive coercion or vote buying. In contrast with other previous proposals, in our protocol the mobility of voters is not restricted in any way, keeping the voting scheme as a real network application. This is achieved through the use of tamper-resistant smartcards and the involvement of a Trusted Third Party.
