A Novel Secure Electronic Voting Protocol Based On Bilinear Pairings
Jue-Sam Chou and Yalin Chen and Jin-Cheng Huang
Abstract: In 1997, Cranor and Cytron proposed an electronic voting protocol, Sensus
protocol, intended to be applied in a real election. However, in 2005 Fabrizio et.al.
pointed out there is a vulnerability exists in their protocol that the validator can
impersonate anyone of those abstained voters to cast vote. They proposed a scheme,
Seas protocol, to solve this weakness. But in this paper, we will show that Seas
protocol is not only inefficient but also impractical. Moreover, we also propose a
sound electronic voting protocol based on Sensus protocol from bilinear pairings,
which can really satisfy the security requirements of an e-voting system.
