Electronic Elections Based on Group Signatures

Resumen

This work deals with electronic elections and votingsystems. The paper presents a secure electronic voting solutionfor small and medium groups of voters. The proposed solutionis based on modern cryptographic schemes such as ElGamalencryption and a group signature scheme that keeps user privacy,ballot authenticity and confidentiality. The solution offers a userrevocation that can be accomplished only by the cooperation oftwo system entities. The solution is experimentally implementedand tested and the performance results are measured. The resultsdemonstrate that the solution is practical and can be run onvarious devices such as PCs, laptops, smartphones, etc.
