최근 전자투표 시스템에 대한 투표자의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해 영수증을 발급하는 기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 전자투표 영수증은 투표자가 자신이 투표한 결과가 최종집계에 올바르게 반영되었음을 확인할 수 있어야 하며, 매표 방지 기능도 함께 가지고 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 연구되었던 기술 중에서 일반 용지 및 프린터를 이용하여 검증 가능한 영수증을 발급하는 전자투표 시스템을 구현하고자 한다.

In order to improve voters' reliability in electronic voting system, voter verifiable receipt technique is being actively researched. Since the receipt should be verifiable not only inside but also outside a polling place, it satisfies the requirements, individual verifiability and receipt-freeness. In the previous researches, there are some problems that special paper and printer is necessary or frequent monitoring is needed to confirm the voting machine's trustworthiness. In this paper, we propose a new receipt issuing scheme. Our scheme does not require any special equipments such as special paper and printer or optical scanner. In addition to that it does not require voters to trust any devices in the polling station and there is no need of frequent observations to the voting machines.

무선 센서 네트워크는 개방된 환경에서 무작위로 배치되어 악의적인 공격자들에게 쉽게 노출된다. 센서 노드는 한정된 에너지 자원과 손쉽게 훼손된다는 단점을 통해 허위 보고서와 투표 삽입 공격이 발생한다. Li와 Wu는 두 공격을 대응하기 위해 확률적 투표기반 여과기법을 제안하였다. 확률적 투표기반 여과기법은 고정적인 검증 경로를 결정하기 때문에 특정 노드의 에너지 자원고갈 위험이 있다. 본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크에서 보고서 여과 확률 향상을 위하여 퍼지 시스템을 기반으로 다음 노드 선택을 약 6% 효율적인 경로 선택 방법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 전달 경로 상의 노드 중 상태정보가 높은 노드를 검증 노드로 선택하고, 선택된 검증 노드는 허용 범위 경계 값을 기준으로 공격 유형을 판별하고 여과한다. 실험결과를 통해 제안기법은 기존기법과 비교하였을 때 에너지 효율이 향상되었다.

In this paper, we investigate how the online voting system can be a trust-based system from a technical perspective. Under four principles of voting, we finely evaluate the existing belief that offline voting is safer and more reliable than online voting based on procedural processes, technical principles. Many studies have suggested the ideas for implementing online voting system, but they have not attempted to strictly examine the technologies of online voting system from the perspective of voting requirements, and usually verification has been insufficient in terms of practical acceptance. Therefore, this study aims to analyze how the technologies are utilized to meet the demanding requirements of voting based on the technologies proven in the field. In addition to general data encryption, online voting requires more technologies for preventing data manipulation and verifying voting results. Moreover, high degree of confidentiality is required because voting data should not be exposed not only to outsiders but also to managers or the system itself. To this end, the security techniques such as Blind Signature, Bit Delegation and Key Division are used. In the case of blockchain-based voting, Mixnet and Zero-Knowledge Proof are required to ensure anonymity. In this study, the current status of the online voting system is analyzed based on the field system that actually serves. This study will enhance our understanding on online voting security technologies and contribute to build a more trust-based voting mechanism.

One of the most important types of Customer Empowerment Strategy (CES) is select empowerment, where firms allow customers to vote on a product to be marketed. However, there is limited research on the advantages and disadvantages of select empowerment. In particular, there are few studies on the composition of a voting system. This study analyzes customer participation behavior, such as willingness to vote and strategic voting (i.e., voting for candidates not based on utility orders), under the different voting systems: 1) the number of votes per customer (single or multiple), and 2) the number of final choices (single or multiple). Uncertainty is proposed as a mediator that links the voting system difference and customer participation. Two research hypotheses are tested using multiple linear regression analysis and a natural effects model based on data from two online experiments. As a result, the multiple voting system (i.e., multiple winners are selected by customer votes) shows a direct positive effect on willingness to vote and strategic voting behavior. In addition, the result shows that uncertainty insignificantly mediates the relationship between the voting system and customer participation. Academic and managerial contributions are discussed with several future research directions.

In this paper, we present an electronic voting system based on cryptographic techniques. Recently, some countries have used e-voting systems using an electronic voting device instead of a voting sheet. These e-voting systems are the early stage which is not online voting. Many cryptographers have studied on-line e-voting systems based on cryptographic techniques. The existing 1-out-of-L e-voting systems are based on E1Gamal cryptosystem. To reduce computational complexity, we use r-th residue encryption scheme and compare the computational complexity of our 1-out-of-L e-voting system with that of the 1-out-of-L e-voting system based on E1Gamal cryptosystem. Moreover, we extend the proposed 1-out-of-L e-voting system to ballot-cancellation property The existing e-voting systems had been overlooked the ballot-cancellation property. There is the reason that the ballot is cancelled according to an election law. For our e-voting system with ballot-cancellation property, we extend the homomorphic property based on r-th residue encryption. The extended homomorphic property is used to cancel votes with guaranteeing privacy and universal verifiability.

공정하고 투명한 선거를 이루기 위해서는 비밀성(privacy), 선거권(eligibiligy) 등과 더불어 전체검증(universally verifiability)과 매표방지(receipt-freeness) 속성이 반드시 제공되어야 한다. 그러나 전체검증은 누구나 투표내용을 확인할 수 있는 방법을 제공하는 것이고 매표방지는 투표내용과 투표자를 연결할 수 있는 방법을 차단하는 것으로 두가지 특성은 상호표리적 관계에 있어서 두가지 특성을 동시에 만족시키기가 어렵다. 이 논문에서는 신뢰할 수 있는 제3자인 정직한 랜덤마이저(Honest Randomizer, HR)와 최소한의 물리적 가정인 HR에서 유권자로 가는 도청 불가능한 채널(untappable channel)을 이용하여 전체검증과 매표방지를 제공하는 효율적인 전자선거 기법을 제안한다.

Existing online voting is not being used for public elections due to uncertainty about security threats, and offline voting costs a lot of money. As an alternative, blockchain is emerging. Applying blockchain technology to online voting will ensure transparency and confidentiality, because voter information and aggregate information are distributed and managed. Since a blockchain distributes the voting information, it will be more secure than existing central server - based online voting systems. If blockchain technology is applied to public elections, and the transparency and confidentiality of the voting information is guaranteed, the cost of voting will be greatly reduced. This paper tries to apply to an online voting system the Ethereum platform from among the blockchain technologies. Ethereum is a highly scalable blockchain technology that provides a smart contract based on the Solidity language to develop an online voting contract and to distribute the contract to each voter. Each voter votes on the contract that has been distributed, and the votes are distributed to other voters. The experiment verifies the consistency of the stored voting information.

It requires a lot of costs and manpower to manage the election system. The electronic voting scheme is needed to make the election system to be economic and fair. Especially, wide spread use of smart phones and wireless networks makes the mobile voting is of major concern. In mobile voting scheme, a smart phone user can vote regardless of the places. In this paper, the mobile voting scheme is proposed where candidates can guarantee fairness of the election system. We analyze mobile voting requirements and create the mobile ID which has legal binding forces and PKI based digital signature keys. In the proposed scheme, a voter's ballot is signed by all candidates using undeniable multi-signature scheme. During the counting stage, the multi-signature on the ballot is not verified without help of all candidates.

센서 네트워크에서 센서는 제한적인 자원 때문에 다양한 공격으로부터 취약하다. 이러한 공격 중 하나인 허위 보고서 삽입 공격은 불필요한 에너지 소모와 허위 알람을 유발한다. 이 공격의 피해를 줄이기 위한 확률적 투표 여과 기법은 검증 노드를 통해 보고서의 맥들을 검증한다. 그러나 허위 보고서가 검증 노드까지 도달하는 데 불필요한 에너지가 소비된다. 본 논문에서, 우리의 제안 기법은 소스의 다음 노드에 키를 배포하여 허위 보고서 삽입 공격을 효율적으로 감지한다. 따라서 제안 기법은 기존 기법보다 에너지 효율성 향상을 기대할 수 있다.
