An anonymous and efficient e-voting scheme

This Electronic voting has about twenty years history and lots of partially secure electronic voting schemes has been proposed in this period of time. There are some security requirements that these entire schemes have been supposed to comply. Another important issue about voting schemes is efficiency, in which, in most cases have been eclipsed because of complying those security requirements. Security techniques such as using public key infrastructure are very common in electronic voting schemes which cause a heavy load on process and increase the number of transmissions between parties In this paper, we introduce a secure and efficient electronic voting scheme based on blind signatures in which voters do not need a set of public/private keys. The proposed scheme fulfills all the security requirements mentioned in the literature.
