A secure electronic voting protocol with IC cards
Jinn‐Ke Jan, Chih-Chang Tai · 2002
Computer networks have become more and more popular and important in our recent life. People can use the network system to do a variety of activities. Thus, we can expect that in the near future we will cast a ballot by using computer networks. In this paper, we propose a new electronic voting protocol with IC cards. Our scheme is so secure that it can meet all the security requirements. In our protocol, only legitimate voter can cast a valid ballot and only once. No one but the voter knows which voting strategy the voter adopts. Each voter can check whether or not his ballot has been counted correctly by the voting center. If any voter finds out that their ballot is miscounted, he can identify and recorrect this miscounting. Finally, no one can cheat or disrupt the entire election in our protocol.
