“…Some protocols have a ballot center as providing voters with ballots. Others, in [5], utilize it for holding the choices that voters made until the casting phase completes. If the ballot center becomes a corrupted party, it can modify the content of the votes or sell them to vote-buyers and coercers who want to check whether the coerced voters cast the candidate they expect.…”

“…In previous works, to avoid coercion as well as vote buying, authors apply a fake identification mechanism to deceive coercers (in JCJ protocol [6]); and others utilize a recasting mechanism without sacrificing uniqueness to conceal voters' final decision [5]. The fake identification requires the condition that at least one voting authority knows the real identification of a voter in order to determine what the real votes are.…”

“…However, security leaks cannot be rejected thoroughly in recent electronic voting protocols when voting authorities collude with each other. In the protocol of Cetinkaya et al [5], for example, though the authors announced that their protocol fulfilled the requirement of uncoercibility, once the adversaries corrupted the voter and colluded with the voting authorities taking responsibilities of holing ballots and voter's cast, they could easily found out whether that voter followed their instruction or not. In addition, in voting protocol of Spycher et al [1] and JCJ protocol [6], if the coercer can communicate with the registrars, no longer can voter lie about their credentials.…”

“…As for the blind signature protocols, they also provided anonymity without requiring any complex computational operators or high communicational cost. Until now, there have been many protocols based on blind signature such as [5][8][10] [15]. Some of them employed blind signature on concealing the content of votes, others concealed the identifications of voters.…”

Abstract. In this paper, we introduce a novel electronic voting protocol which is resistant to more powerful corrupted parties and coercers than any previous works. They can be the voting authorities inside the system who can steal voters' information and the content of their votes, or the adversaries outside who try to buy the votes, and force voters to follow their wishes. The worst case is that the adversaries outside collude with all voting authorities inside to destroy the whole system. In previous works, authors suggested many complicated cryptographic techniques for fulfilling all security requirements of electronic voting protocol. However, they cannot avoid the sophisticated inside and outside collusion. Our proposal prevents these threats from happening by the combination of blind signature, dynamic ballots and other techniques. Moreover, the improvement of blind signature scheme together with the elimination of physical assumptions makes the newly proposed protocol faster and more efficient. These enhancements make some progress towards practical security solution for electronic voting system.

Recently, there has been a spate of interest in Internet voting systems because of advantages such as participation, efficiency, accuracy, and transparency. However, challenges for having a secure i‐voting system are considerable. Unless these systems are designed and implemented carefully, citizens might lose their trust on the whole voting process. This paper introduces a novel online voting protocol, which satisfies the desired security requirements of i‐voting as collusion resistance, fairness, coercion\bribery, and secure voting platform. Although Internet voting systems provide convenience for voters by requiring just a PC and an Internet connection, they might be subject to some drawbacks as PCs are very susceptible to malware and sophisticated attacks. To clarify, voter side insecure platform is one of the biggest challenges in Internet voting, which would breach voter's privacy and also affect the integrity of election. In this paper, we present an alternative to the voters' insecure PCs. Java Card 3 is the latest version of Java Card, which could be considered as voter's portable secure Web server. It can obtain an IP address and communicate with other network nodes with hypertext transfer protocol secure (HTTPS). Therefore, regardless of utilizing a trusted device at the client side, end‐to‐end security is guaranteed. This means that Java Card 3 can resolve challenges, which are posed by insecurity of the vote casting PC. Furthermore, to enhance the security and guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of the data, which are stored in the card during the voting process, we have used Java information flow. An implementation of this protocol is proposed on the basis of Java Card 3 servlet container and Web server technology in which the card and electoral servers communicate on a machine‐to‐machine basis.
