Analyzing and Improving Eligibility Verifiability of the Proposed Belgian Remote Voting System ...

This paper discusses several recent electronic-paper remote voting hybrid schemes, concentrating more specifically on the proposal put forward for Belgian elections. We point to some problems in the proposal, and consider addition of blind signatures as one possible approach to dealing with the identified shortcomings. We discuss the concomitant updates from both the protocol and electoral processes point of view, arguing that our proposal would strike a better balance between different requirements. To the best of our knowledge, this is also the first proposal to use blind signatures in a pap... Mehr ...

We discuss the concomitant updates from both the protocol and electoral processes point of view, arguing that our proposal would strike a better balance between different requirements. To the best of our knowledge, this is also the first proposal to use blind signatures in a paper-based voting system. ...
