- SPaperless Independently-Verifiable VotingSpringer Berlin HeidelbergSep 2011We present a new model for polling-booth voting: the voter enters the polling booth with a computational assistant which helps her verify that her vote is correctly recorded. The assistant interacts with the voting system while the voter votes on the machine in the polling booth. We present an independently-verifiable, coercion-resistant protocol based on this model. Unlike all other independently-verifiable protocols, this one is completely paperless and does not require the voter to perform any tasks outside the polling booth. We provide property definitions, rigorous claims and a description of a prototype.
- AComparing Privacy Properties of Mixnet Audits used by End-to-End Voting SystemsAbstract Argonne Undergraduate Symposium Argonne National LaboratoryNov 2009End-to-end voting systems allow voters to determine that their votes were correctly included in the tally, without revealing individual votes. A key component of a number of these systems is the mixnet, which shuffles encrypted votes and provides decrypted votes to a public website. These votes may then be counted by anyone. Our research has focused on the privacy properties of end-to-end voting systems that use mixnets.
