Anonymous Code Lists for Secure Electronic Voting over Insecure Mobile Channels

Abstract

A protocol is proposed that would allow electronic voting over channels, which typically are regarded as insecure like short message service (SMS) and cellular phones. Unlike personalized lists of codes, which are typically proposed to secure the vote and to uniquely identify the voter, we propose anonymous code lists, which offer more ?exibility and security, in particular with respect to privacy and the anonymity of the voter.
