Cryptographic End-to-end Verification for Real-world Elections

Essex, Aleksander (University of Waterloo, 2012-07-05)

In this dissertation we study the problem of making electronic voting trustworthy through the use of cryptographic end-to-end (E2E) audits. In particular, we present a series of novel proposals for cryptographic election ...
