[7-14]Lagrangian remote e-voting

Venue：Room 813, Building #5
Abstract：
In the time of growing mobility of citizens, the costs of political elections is growing. This concerns in particular the countries of European Community, where mobility of working force generates problems for traditional election schemes. Many logistics problems could be solved if it would be possible to cast votes per Internet. However, providing technology that satisfies all necessary security requirements is one of the most challenging problems of information security in online communication. We present a resent proposal of remote e-voting scheme where local verification is non-transferable and secures strongly against disclosure of votes and coercion.
(The topic is interesting in the sense that it leaves a lot of room for further research leading to engineering works and practical experience.)
