Theoretical Attacks on E2E Voting Systems

Peter Hyun-Jeen Lee and Siamak F. Shahandashti

Abstract

We give a survey of existing attacks against end-to-end verifiable voting systems in the academic literature. We discuss attacks on the integrity of the election, attacks on the privacy of voters, and attacks aiming at coercion of voters. For each attack, we give a brief overview of the voting system and a short description of the attack and its consequences.

Note: This is a personally archived version of a chapter by the same title contributed to the book "Real-World Electronic Voting: Design, Analysis and Deployment", Feng Hao and Peter Y.\ A.\ Ryan (editors), Series in Security, Privacy and Trust, CRC Press, 2016.
