An electronic voting scheme
Tatsuaki Okamoto · 1996
This paper proposes a practical large scaled secret voting scheme which satisfies the receipt-free property* as well as the fairness property†. This scheme uses three realistic tools: a non-anonymous channel, a bulletin board, and a private channel. The participants of the scheme are the voters and voting commissioners (administrators, privacy commission members, and timeliness commission members). There are four stages to this scheme: the authorizing stage, voting stage, claiming stage, and counting stage. A voter performs just one round message exchange with the administrators in the authorizing stage, and is required to send just one message in the voting stage.
