INDEPENDENT VOTER VERIFIABILITY FOR REMOTE ELECTRONIC VOTING

Jordi Puiggalia, Victor Morales Rocha

2007

Abstract

Most of the current efforts to implement voter verifiability methods for electronic voting are not suitable for remote electronic voting. Moreover, the remote voting verifiability methods proposed to date are inefficient, do not allow the verification of the presence of the votes after they have been decrypted or they sacrifice voter privacy requirements in order to accommodate the “cast as intended” voter verification objective. We propose a voter verifiability method for remote electronic voting that addresses each of these issues. The method is based on the implementation of cryptographically protected voting receipts and is complemented by the use of an independent verification application which is easy to audit and certify.
