Verifiable Remote Voting with Large Scale Coercion Resistance
نویسندگان
چکیده
Remote voting, in which every voter can cast his vote from the convenience of his home, brings many new security and privacy threats not found in conventional precinct-based elections. We develop a cryptographic protocol for remote voting with several useful security properties. First, it provides end-to-end verifiability for the entire election system. Second, the level of security scales with the attention that voters are willing to pay to security: voters who are willing to perform extra verification steps receive full security (i.e., no requirement to trust any computer), but we still provide a reasonable level of security (e.g., protection against compromise of the voter’s computer) for voters who do not perform these optional steps. Third, our scheme defends against remote coercion attacks, thereby achieving a degree of resistance to large-

Achieving Meaningful Efficiency in Coercion-Resistant, Verifiable Internet Voting
In traditional voting schemes with paper, pens, and ballot-boxes, appropriate procedures are put in place to reassure voters that the result of the tally is correct. Considering that in Internet voting errors or fraud will generally scale over a much greater fraction of votes, the demand to get strong reassurances as well, seems more than justified. With the ambition of offering a maximum degre...
متن کاملOn remote and voter-verifiable voting
Voting is an important tool for modern societies. It is fundamental for the democracy. This mechanism must be fair and accurate. However, threats intrinsic in the voting process may compromise these requisites. In conventional voting, dishonest talliers may corrupt the ballot box, for instance. Remote voting has more threats due to the uncontrolled environment. In this work, we propose secure p...
متن کاملA Receipt-free Coercion-resistant Remote Internet Voting Protocol without Physical Assumptions through Deniable Encryption and Trapdoor Commitment Scheme
The secure remote Internet voting protocol play an important role in Internet voting system. The direction of development of remote Internet voting protocol is that implementation of receipt-freeness and coercion-resistance is from with strong physical assumptions to with weak physical assumptions. The final purpose is that receiptfreeness and coercion-resistance is implemented without physical...
متن کاملCivitas: A Secure Remote Voting System
Civitas is the first implementation of a coercion-resistant, universally verifiable, remote voting scheme. This paper describes the design of Civitas, details the cryptographic protocols used in its construction, and illustrates how language-enforced information-flow security policies yield assurance in the implementation. The performance of Civitas scales well in the number of voters and offer...
