A Common Security Model for Conducting e-Auctions and e-Elections

Abstract.

With the advent of new technologies, traditional systems are currently replaced with electronic ones. Throughout this transition, security concerns such as privacy and anonymity are increasingly raised. In this paper we consider, from a security point of view, electronic auctions and electronic voting systems. We present, at high level, a common model for securely conducting both systems. It is also shown how several application-specific requirements can be incorporated into this model.
