Anonymous Electronic Voting Protocol with Deniable Authentication for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Abstract

This paper analyzes Chun et al.’s e-voting protocol for mobile ad-hoc network and modifies it based on blind signature technique to support anonymous voting property. Based on this property the trusted node cannot learn who has voted for whom. As the previous protocol, the modified protocol does not need any centralized administration. We analyze security and computation cost of the proposed protocol and show that it is well suited for mobile environments.
