E-voting is not just about cryptography but also about secure storage and database archival. Our quantum safe research work organically enriches the security level of the solution. We continuously discovering potential improvement of the platform in security directions as well.
We currently work on secure voting protocol for score-based voting rules, where independent tellers perform the tallying procedure. The protocol outputs the winning nominee(s) while preserving the privacy of the voters and the secrecy of the ballots. It may offer perfect secrecy, in the sense that apart from the desired output, all other information – the ballots, intermediate values, and the final scores received by each of the nominee– is not disclosed to any party, including the vote counters.
Such security will increase the voters’ confidence and, consequently, encourage them to vote according to their true preferences.
