Homomorphic Tallying for the Estonian Internet Voting System

چکیده

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 server and the possibility for observers to recalculate the tally without compromising ballot secrecy. The use of modern elliptic curve cryptography allows homomorphic tallying to be implemented without a significant loss of performance.

Elliptic Curve Array Ballots for Homomorphic Tallying Elections

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.

Design and Implementation of Secure Remote e-Voting System Using Homomorphic Encryption

Internet polling also known as “e-voting” became popular in past few years, since it reduces the tallying cost and time, increases the number of voter participation, also reduces the human resources and the traditional work that means less fraud and corruption. In this paper, a remote e-Voting system is designed and implemented using homomorphic encryption. The homomorphic property in ElGamal c...

Secure E-voting Using Homomorphic Technology

Voting is one of the most important activities in a democratic society. In a traditional voting environment voting process sometimes becomes quite inconvenient due to the reluctance of certain voters to visit a polling booth to cast votes besides involving huge social and human resources. The development of computer networks and elaboration of cryptographic techniques facilitate the implementat...
