Abstract

In secret ballot protocols, the unique voting property is crucial since without it a voter may vote more than once or his ballot may collide with others and be discarded by the authority. In this paper we present a collision-free secret ballot protocol based on the uniquely blind signature technique. Our proposed scheme can be used to hold large-scale general elections because it ensures independence among voters without the need for any global computation. This scheme preserves the privacy of a voter against the authority and other voters. Robustness is ensured in that no subset of voters can corrupt or disrupt the election. The verifiability of this protocol ensures that the authority cannot present a false tally without being caught.
