A Secure E-Voting System Based on List Signature for Large Scale

Abstract

Electronic voting costs less and can solve the problem of participation rate that occurs in traditional elections. Traditional E-voting schemes are designed using blind signature or anonymous communication channel; it is hard for them to solve the new problems like vacant ballot, cheating, vote collision and so on. List signature is the expansion of group signature, in which adds public detection. We proposed an E-voting scheme based on it, the proposed scheme can satisfy the properties of E-voting and can solve the new problems conveniently. Compared with the traditional schemes, it is more convenient to detect the members who issue more than one ballots in the proposed scheme. Security and performance analysis shows that the proposed scheme is secure and efficient.
