Abstract

A Polling booth-based Electronic Voting Scheme (PEVS) is presented in this chapter. The scheme allows only eligible voters to cast their ballots inside polling booths, and the ballots cast by the eligible voters are inalterable and non-reusable. The scheme provides vote-privacy and receipt-freeness. The scheme is modeled to fend off forced-abstention attacks, simulation attacks, or randomization attacks. Thus, the scheme is coercion-resistant. The scheme also satisfies voter verifiability, universal verifiability, and eligibility verifiability requirements. The ProVerif tool is used to formally analyze soundness, vote-privacy, receipt-freeness, and coercion-resistance of the scheme. The analysis shows that PEVS satisfies these properties. PEVS is the first electronic voting scheme (polling booth-based) that satisfies all the requirements listed above.
