An eVoting platform for QoE evaluation

Electronic voting systems have long been used as a way of collecting information. In many of them security is not taken into account; however, it is usually a must in a voting process. In this paper we describe an implementation of a secure eVoting system, based on ring signatures providing multiple features such as linkability or anonymity. This makes our proposal very attractive as a tool for information gathering in QoE evaluation. The system also allows linking together all the ballots of each user, without loss of anonymity, and watching the different trends in the users´ opinions. Users carry out the voting with a web browser, which enables the addition of multimedia content to the poll, thus helping the information gathering process in QoE evaluation.
