Electronic Voting Systems

Abstract.

The first part of this chapter includes the complete list of functional and non-functional requirements for an electronic voting system, taking into account the European Union legislation, the organizational details of currently applicable voting procedures and the possibilities offered, as well as the constraints imposed, by the latest technology. Following that, there is a detailed presentation of several generic and enhanced models, proposed in the cryptographic literature, for remote e-voting, as well as of a new class of cryptographic voting schemes for paper-based elections in polling stations.

Key words: Online elections, Remote E-voting, Functional and Non-Functional Requirements, Security, Privacy, Cryptographic Mechanisms.
