“…After signing, the message will be unblinded in order to check the message and verify in public with the original message for any possible distortion or tampering. This technique can be executed using various public key encryption schemes 34,35 . In the proposed scheme, we have shown implementation of blind signature along with the advantages of ECC.…”

Voting allows the people to elect their representative and express their preferences. In modern day democracy, voting is one fundamental and most important tool for election. To strengthen this process, efforts must be made to achieve a confirmable and transparent voting system. Naturally, the veracity of the election process is of ultimate importance for the honor of the democracy itself. The online voting or e-voting system is a cost-effective procedure, which saves a lot of money and time spent for organizing the election. However, security, integrity of data and privacy of the voter are the increasing concerns in this context. In this paper, we have done a thorough literature survey of the various latest schemes in this context and found that the schemes prone to several security and privacy threats. Moreover, a major issue with all these schemes is that they are inefficient in terms of computation and communication overheads. With this motivation, we present a novel and efficient e-voting scheme to tackle the security and privacy concerns. The proposed scheme is designed using the concept of blind signature, anonymous channel and trust worthy entities where elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) works as a backbone. The proposed scheme is formally evaluated using well known AVISPA simulation tool, which simulates the attack model using CL-AtSe as well as OFMC backend according to Dolev-Yao threat model. In both the cases, all the possible security threats are being nullified by the proposed scheme and results in safe communication. Also, the scheme is analyzed against all the possible attacks that jeopardize the integrity of the existing voting systems. Moreover, the proposed scheme is also compared with other prevailing schemes in terms of computation and communication overheads and found more efficient.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to use role expectation theory to identify potential determinants of user voting avoidance on mobile social media. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through a survey of 602 WeChat users, and the proposed model was analysed using structural equation modelling. Findings Results indicate that user voting avoidance was positively influenced by unfair competition, perceived inauthenticity, perceived information insecurity, over-consumption of renqing (a unique Chinese human relation) and organisation placement in the context of mobile social media. Originality/value This study illustrates mobile user voting avoidance from the perspective of role expectation theory and clarifies the importance of avoidance in current voting research.

“…The first ID-based blind signature scheme was proposed by Zhang et al [16] in 2002. Later many identity-based blind signature schemes have been proposed in literature along with its applications in e-cash and e-voting systems [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Most of these schemes are designed using bilinear pairings over elliptic curves [17][18][19][20][21][22][23]25,26,28,31,35].…”

“…The security analysis of the proposed scheme was presented in the random oracle model, which substantiated that it was provably secure. In 2017, Kumar et al [34] proposed a blind signature for E-voting in ID-based setting. In the same year Sarde et al [35] presented a blind and proxy blind signature scheme.…”

With the rapid development of modern technology, personal privacy has become a critical concern in many applications. Various digitalized applications such as online voting systems and the electronic cash systems need authenticity and anonymity. Blind signature is an advanced technique that provides the authenticity and anonymity of the user by obtaining a valid signature for a message without revealing its content to the signer. The message recovery property minimizes the signature size and allows efficient communication in situations where bandwidth is limited. With the advantage of blind signature and message recovery properties, in this paper, we present a new pairing free blind signature scheme with message recovery in Identity-based settings. The proposed scheme is proven to be secure in the random oracle model under the assumption that the Elliptic Curve Discrete Logarithm Problem (ECDLP) is intractable. The proposed scheme meets the security requirements such as blindness, untracebility, and unforgeability. We compare our scheme with the well-known existing schemes in the literature, and the efficiency analysis shows that our scheme is more efficient in terms of computational and communicational point of view.
