Secure Electronic Voting Protocols
نویسنده
چکیده
This chapter gives a summary of cryptographic e-voting protocols. We start with a motivation and an overview of some aspects of traditional elections. We then outline the security requirements of e-voting and present in detail two approaches to cryptographic e-voting, based on homomorphic encryption and mix networks. We finish the chapter with a list of open problems.

Secure e-Voting for Preferential Elections
Electronic voting (e-voting) systems can greatly enhance the efficiency, and potentially, the transparency of national elections. However, the security of such systems is an area of on-going research. The literature for secure e-voting is predominantly concerned with 1-out-of-m voting strategies, where m is the number of candidates running for the elections. This paper presents a case study of ...
متن کاملSecure Architectures for a Three-Stage Polling Place Electronic Voting System
Security on electronic voting systems is fundamental; it must assure the integrity of all the elements involved or generated during a voting process. This paper presents a design of secure architectures for providing security, integrity and authenticity of the most important elements involved in an electoral process: configuration files, recorded votes and final result files. Also, different cr...
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...
متن کاملSecure and Practical Online Elections via Voting Service Provider
Our paper deals with the question how remote e-voting can be put into practice in a secure and at the same time feasible way. We show that outsourcing the technical implementation of electronic elections to a Voting Service Provider (VSP) is one solution to this problem. Our concept can help election hosts to easily conduct electronic elections without having to take care of the necessary secur...
متن کاملMaking Code Voting Secure Against Insider Threats Using Unconditionally Secure MIX Schemes and Human PSMT Protocols
Code voting was introduced by Chaum as a solution for using a possibly infected-by-malware device to cast a vote in an electronic voting application. Chaum’s work on code voting assumed voting codes are physically delivered to voters using the mail system, implicitly requiring to trust the mail system. This is not necessarily a valid assumption to make especially if the mail system cannot be tr...
