Return Code Schemes for Electronic Voting Systems

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNSC,volume 10615))

Abstract

We describe several return code schemes for secure vote submission in electronic voting systems. We consider a unified treatment where a return code is generated as a multiparty computation of a secure MAC tag applied on an encrypted message submitted by a voter. Our proposals enjoy a great level of flexibility with respect to various usability, security, and performance tradeoffs.
