Advances in cryptographic voting systems
… elections. We present the power of cryptographic voting, in particular its ability to successfully achieve both verifiability and ballot secrecy, a combination that cannot be achieved by other means. We review a large portion of the literature on cryptographic voting. We propose three novel …

End-to-end verifiability for optical scan voting systems
End-to-end verifiable voting systems allow voters to verify that their votes are cast as intended, collected as cast, and counted as collected. Essentially, end-to-end voting systems provide voters assurance that each step of the election worked correctly. At the same time, voting systems must …

Using electronic voting systems data outside lectures to support learning
Many years of research into using Electronic Voting Systems (EVS) within lectures has so far led to the conclusion that EVS is of beneficial value to students’ learning by involving students directly in conversation and deeper reflection. EVS researchers have proposed that using the voting data …

COMBINING CRYPTOGRAPHY, RISK ASSESSMENT AND USABILITY FOR SECURE E-VOTING SYSTEMS
Remote electronic voting is a multi-faceted subject that cannot be fully addressed from a single perspective. The design of a secure and effective e-voting system requires a careful balance of mathematical rigor, robust information security measures, and usability considerations. In this thesis, I …

Using Formal Methods for Building more Reliable and Secure e-voting Systems
… This is particularly common in electronic voting (e-voting) systems. This dissertation focuses along two lines. First, we propose an approach to guarantee a reasonable security to the overall systems by performing for- mal procedural security analysis. We apply existing techniques and …

Factors influencing the intention of youth to adopt electronic voting in South Africa
… technologies has sparked interest in electronic voting (e-voting) systems. E-voting systems enable voters to participate in elections remotely, using internet-based technologies. In 2020, the Independent Electoral Commission of South Africa stated its intention to introduce e-voting to lower the …

Computational Aspects of Approval Voting and Declared-Strategy Voting
… possibility of manipulation through insincere voting. In approval voting systems, voters decide whether to approve or disapprove available alternatives; however, the specific nature of rational approval strategies has not been adequately studied. This research explores aspects of strategy under …

The implementation of a split-value verifiable voting system
… proof-of-concept of a newly designed verifiable voting system. The implementation elicits details in the communication and synchronization among servers, unavailable in the original design paper [M. O. Rabin and R. L. Rivest, "Efficient End to End Verifiable Electronic Voting Employing Split …

A Framework for Dependability analysis of software systems with trusted bases
… of the system called trusted bases. In most systems, the satisfaction of a requirement relies on assumptions about the environment, in addition to the behavior of software. Therefore, establishing a trusted base for a critical property must be carried out as early as the requirements phase. …

E-voting: an immature technology in a critical context
E-voting has been introduced prematurely to national elections in many countries worldwide. There are technical and organizational barriers which must be resolved before the use of e-voting can be recommended in such a critical context. Two fundamental requirements for e-voting systems are in con …
