A Multiauthority Electronic Voting Protocol Based upon a Blind Multisignature Scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a blind multisignature scheme based on an extension of the RSA cryptosystem (called the ERSA system). Taking advantage of the scheme, we then present a new multiauthority electronic election system, which can meet all of the following requirements: eligibility, collision free, vigorousness of authorities, accuracy, privacy, verifiability, robustness, fairness, and prevention of ticket-buying or extortion. In addition, the computations among voters are independent without any global computation, so it is suitable for conducting a largescale general election.

Double voter perceptible blind signature based electronic voting protocol
Mu et al. have proposed an electronic voting protocol and claimed that it protects anonymity of voters, detects double voting and authenticates eligible voters. It has been shown that it does not protect voter's privacy and prevent double voting. After that, several schemes have been presented to fulfill these properties. However, many of them suffer from the same weaknesses. In this p...
متن کاملProvably Secure Untraceable Electronic Cash against Insider Attacks
Although a great deal of research has been done on electronic cash schemes with blind multisignatures to prevent an insider attack, there is no discussion of a formal security model in the literature. Firstly we discussed the security model of e-cash schemes based on the blind multisignature scheme against a (restricted) attack model and proposed a concrete scheme proven to be secure in the mod...
متن کاملConvertible limited (multi-) verifier signature: new constructions and applications
A convertible limited (multi-) verifier signature (CL(M)VS) provides controlled verifiability and preserves the privacy of the signer. Furthermore, limited verifier(s) can designate the signature to a third party or convert it into a publicly verifiable signature upon necessity. In this proposal, we first present a generic construction of convertible limited verifier signature (CLVS) into which...
متن کاملNew blind signature protocols based on a new hard problem
Blind signature and blind multisignature schemes are useful in protocols that guarantee the anonymity of the participants. In practice, in some cases the electronic messages are to be signed by several signers and an electronic message is first blinded then passed to each of the signers, who then sign it using some special signature scheme such as collective signature protocol. In this paper, w...
متن کاملA Secure and Anonymous Electronic Voting Scheme Based on Key Exchange Protocol
Voter anonymity and voting correctness are important issues for electronic voting mechanisms. Compared electronic voting with traditional 1elections, an electronic voter is able to cast his/her ballot through the Internet in any place and at any time if he/she can access the network. Therefore, convenience and mobility make electronic voting become more and more popular and electronic voting ca...
