| Abstract Text | Since many years, traditional voting schemes have been challenged by e-voting systems. However, e-voting systems are only actively used in some areas of the world, since proposed systems are often error-prone or do not meet the necessary security requirements. The Swiss remote postal voting is very complex (for the voter) and is heavily based on the voter's trust in third parties. This work tries to make the current voting system more verifi able by adapting small components of the physical voting material. Specifi cally, this means that additional QR codes are printed on the voting card. These QR codes contain an encrypted entry of the electoral register concerning the respective voter. The corresponding encrypted entries are made accessible through IPFS on an authorized website and can be compared with the received QR code. In addition, every PB contains an RFID tag. With the help of this tag, the electoral officer can reproduce the right path of the paper ballot without revealing the identity of the voter. Overall, nothing is changed in the weighting between privacy and verifi ability. The purpose of the suggested scheme is to be more verifi able while staying receipt-free. However, since the use of RFID technology causes additional costs, it remains an open question how applicable the proposed scheme is. |
