A Three-Ballot-Based Secure Electronic Voting System
|
This article presents a secure electronic voting system integrated in a single architecture—one that addresses vote receipts, uniqueness and materialization of the vote, and voter privacy and anonymity. Our prototype, built using Web services and Election Markup Language, shows the proposal's viability.
