Abstract :
The paper proposes a practical anonymous secure electronic voting protocol in which the communications are based on the Internet. This protocol employs blind signature to ensure that only eligible registered voters can participate in the election activity, and each eligible registered voter can securely vote at most once. This protocol, with secret sharing methods, prevents any facility from falsifying the result of voting, while achieving the fairness of voting. Our e-voting system is easy to be implemented, since the integration of the user interface with a Web browser and the e-mail software would make it easier. We believe that our system will be an efficient, fair, and practical voting system
