A Secure Multi authority Electronic Voting Protocol based on Blind Signature

Abstract

Electronic voting is an emerging application of cryptographic protocols. In this paper we propose a simple multi-authority electronic voting protocol based on blind signature, which meets security requirements such as privacy, accuracy, verifiability, anonymity, fairness and niqueness. In this scheme bit wise XOR operation is used for vote generation and blind signature scheme for its authentication. The proposed scheme is secure as none of the authority involved in this scheme can have sufficient information to link a vote to corresponding voter.
