Using selene to verify your vote in JCJ

Abstract

We show how to combine the individual verification mechanism of Selene with the coercion-resistant e-voting scheme from Juels, Catalano and Jakobsson (JCJ). This results in an e-voting scheme which allows the voter to check directly that her vote is counted as intended, but still allows her to mitigate coercion. We also construct variants of the protocol which provide everlasting privacy or better verifiability. Further, both improvements of JCJ and Selene are discussed.
