Abstract:

A novel electronic voting scheme was proposed which was quite suitable for small scale election setting.An outstanding characteristic of the design was its guarantee of unconditionally perfect ballot secrecy.It satisfied self-tallying,fairness and verifiability.Disruption of the result of an election equals to breaking the discrete logarithm problem.The scheme is built on top of the DC-net (dining cryptographers network) anonymous broadcast protocol.It needs no trusted authority to guarantee its security,but assumes a complete network of private channels between voters.

Key words: electronic voting, anonymous broadcast, ballot secrecy, zero knowledge proof
