Practical Internet voting protocol without strong physical assumption

  • Published:
Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences

Abstract

Internet voting protocols is the base of the Internet voting systems. In this paper a new practical Internet voting protocol is introduced. The proposed Internet voting protocol does not apply the strong physical assumptions and has the properties of privacy, completeness, soundness, fairness, invariableness, and universal verifiability, receipt-free and coercion-resistant. At the same time it solves some problems in other internet voting protocols and the verification progress of universal verifiability is simple and efficient.
