Abstract :
This paper presents a new E-voting schema which allows the voters to participate in elections through Internet. It leverages Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and the concept of voting ticket to meet two security requirements which are not thoroughly considered in previously proposed E-voting schema: Vote changeability (during voting period) and Indistinguishability of non-participants. The sketch of voting protocol and the evaluation of security requirements and a sample printout of implementation are provided. Furthermore, a web based Internet voting application is implemented based on MIZAN secure electronic voting schema.
