Implementing an Internet-Based Voting System for Public Elections - A Project Experience.
Alexander Prosser, Robert Krimmer, Robert Kofler · WU Research · 2003
Worldwide research groups have developed remote electronic voting systems using several different approaches with no legal basis. In 2001 the Austrian Parliament passed a law allowing electronic voting with digital signatures for public elections. Besides these legal requirements, an algorithm has to solve the basic technical problem, of how to identify the user uniquely with still guaranteeing the anonymity of one's vote and further not to allow fraud by the election administration. In this paper the authors give an experience report on the implementation of the first phase of an algorithm that fulfills these requirements by strictly separating the registration from the vote submission phase.
