Anonymous Secure E-Voting Network

Abstract

In this paper, we propose two new anonymous secure electronic voting schemes that protect the privacy of the voters and prevent double voting. These schemes do not require any special voting channel and the communications can occur entirely over existing networks such as the Internet. The proposed schemes are based on ElGamal digital signature algorithm and can be applied to elections in a variety of situations ranging from an election in a small organization to a country. Key Words: Secure Voting, Applied Cryptography. 1 Introduction Electronic balloting and voting can make the election process more convenient and e#cientifitcan be achieved securely. Electronic voting raises several security issues such as privacy, fairness, veri- #ability and double voting. Some of these issues become further complicated if voter anonymityis required. As an open networked environment #e.g. Internet# is vulnerable to security attacks suchas eavesdropping, masquerading, and illegal modi#- cation a...
