A new fully auditable proposal for an Internet voting system with secure individual verification and complaining capabilities

This paper introduces a new Internet voting (i-voting) system based on an analysis of the related literature, oriented to democratic election principles (universality, equality, freedom and secrecy). The foundations compiled from that analysis include both technical and social aspects because achieving voter confidence is as important as creating “perfectly secure” systems when talking about democracy. The issues especially addressed in the new system are: full audit-capability, secure individual verification and vote-complaining, and N-Version Programming based robustness and transparency. Currently, this new i-voting system is being tested for performance and usability in our lab.
