A verifiable multi-authority e-voting scheme for real world environment

Abstract

In this Paper, we proposed a verifiable multiauthority e-voting scheme which satisfies all the requirements of large scale general elections. We used blind signature for voters' anonymity and threshold cryptosystem for guarantee fairness of the voting process. Our scheme supports all types of election easily without increasing complexity of the scheme. Moreover, our scheme allows open objection that means a voter can complain in each stage while his privacy remains secret. Furthermore, the simplicity and low complexity of computation of the protocol makes it practical for general use.
