선거 시스템을 관리하기 위해서는 많은 비용과 인력이 요구된다. 경제적이고 공정한 선거 시스템 구축을 위해서 전자 투표 기법의 접목은 필수적이다. 특히 스마트폰과 무선 인터넷 사용이 급증하면서 장소에 구애받지 않고 투표할 수 있는 모바일 투표에 대한 관심이 증대하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 후보자들에 의해서 선거의 공정성이 보장되는 모바일 투표 기법을 제안한다. 모바일 전자 투표를 위한 요구사항을 분석하고 법적 구속력이 있는 모바일 ID와 PKI 기반의 서명 키를 생성한다. 제안한 기법에서 투표권은 부인봉쇄 다중서명 기법을 적용하여 후보자들에 의해서 서명된다. 서명된 투표권은 개표 단계에서 모든 후보자들의 동의 없이는 검증할 수 없는 특성을 갖는다.

With the development of quantum computers, ring signature schemes based on large integer prime factorization, discrete logarithm problem, and bilinear pairing are under threat. For this reason, we design a ring signature scheme based on lattice with a fixed verification key. Compared with the previous ring signature scheme based on lattice, our design has a fixed verification key and does not disclose the signer's identity. Meanwhile, we propose an anonymous electronic voting scheme by using our ring signature scheme based on lattice and (t, n) threshold scheme, which makes up for the lack of current anonymous electronic voting that cannot resist attacks of the quantum computer. Finally, under standard model (SM), we prove that our ring signature scheme based on lattice is anonymous against the full-key exposure, and existentially non-forgeable against insider corruption. Furthermore, we also briefly analyze the security of our anonymous electronic voting scheme.

It requires a lot of costs and manpower to manage an election. The electronic voting scheme can make the election system economic and trustful. The widespread use of smart phones causes mobile voting to be a major issue. The smart phone can be used as a mobile voting platform since it can carry out many services in addition to basic telephone service. To make mobile voting practical and trustful, we analyzed two subjects of study. Firstly, the way to make a biometric based mobile ID, which has legal binding forces. In mobile voting, user identification is accomplished on line since the voter should be able to vote wherever they go. The digital ID conducts a similar role to the need for a resident card. The user's identity is bound to the resident card legally. To bind the user's identity to the smart phone, we use USIM. Biometric recognition is also needed to authenticate the user, since the user cannot prove him or her on line face-to-face. The proposed mobile ID can be reissued by means of introducing a random secret value. Secondly, the mobile voting scheme is proposed where candidates can accept election results without doubt. The goal of an election is to select a leader among two or more candidates. Existing electronic voting schemes mainly focus on the study of ballot verification accomplished by voters. These approaches are not safe against collusion attacks where candidates and the election administration center are able to collude to fabricate election results. Therefore, a new type of voting and counting method is needed where candidates can directly take part in voting and counting stages. The biometric based multi-signature scheme is used to make the undeniable multi-signed ballot. The ballot cannot be verified without the help of all candidates. If candidates accept election results without a doubt, the fairness of the election is satisfied.

With the development of information and communication technologies, especially wireless networks and cell phones, the e-voting system becomes popular as its cost-effectiveness, swiftness, scalability, and ecological sustainability. However, the current e-voting schemes are faced with the problem of privacy leakage and further cause worse vote-buying and voter-coercion problems. Moreover, in large-scale voting, some previous e-voting system encryption scheme with pairing operation also brings huge overhead pressure to the voting system. Thus, it is a vital problem to design a protocol that can protect voter privacy and simultaneously has high efficiency to guarantee the effective implementation of e-voting. To address these problems, our paper proposes an efficient unidirectional proxy re-encryption scheme that provides the re-encryption of vote content and the verification of users' identity. This function can be exactly applied in the e-voting system to protect the content of vote and preserve the privacy of the voter. Our proposal is proven to be CCA secure and collusion resistant. The detailed analysis also shows that our scheme achieves higher efficiency in computation cost and ciphertext size than the schemes in related fields.

컴퓨터의 보급과 통신망의 발전으로 인간의 많은 사회적 영역이 전자화 되고 있다. 전자 선거라는 민주 사회에서의 가장 중요한 사회적 행위로 전자 민주주의 실현의 기반이며, 안전한 전자 선거를 위해서 정보 보호기술의 접목은 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 대규모 선거에 적합한 전자 선거 기법을 제안한다. 신뢰할 수 있는 선거 관리 센터와 Chaum이 제안한 추적할 수 없는 통신망을 가정함으로써 보다 실용적인 전자 선거가 가능하다. 투표자 등록 단계에서 개인 ID에 기반한 투표권 인증을 수행하며, 투표 및 개표 과정 에서 부정할 수 없는 도전/응답 프로토콜(undenivable challemge/response protocol) 을 적용하여 선거 중간에 투표 결과를 알 수 없도록 한다. 제안한 방법은 투표자의 비밀성 , 선거 결과의 정확성, 선거의 공정성 등과 같은 대규모 선거에서 필요한 요구 사항을 만족한다.

We have designed an Internet voting system applicable for worldwide voting which is based on Ohkubo et. al,'s scheme[9] combined with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first trial to serve secure Internet voting system to the world. In our system, voter's privacy is guaranteed by using blind signature and mix-net, and robustness is provided through the threshold encryption scheme. By employing Java technology, we propose a way of typical implementation for internet voting system. Furthermore, PKI permits worldwide key distribution and achieve “one certificate/one vote” policy. Therefore, anyone can participate in the voting if he gets a certificate from Certificate Authority (CA). By the joint work between Korean and Japanese teams, the implementation aims to select MVPs in 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea-Japan$\^$TM/ in easy and friendly manner for any Internet user to participate and enjoy Internet voting.

현재의 전자투표 시스템은 투표자로 하여금 일방적인 신뢰를 강요하고 있으며, 투표자의 의도대로 기록되었음을 입증하지도 않는다. 전자투표가 종이투표 방식보다 많은 장점을 제공할 것이라고 기대하고 있음에도 불구하고 이러한 신뢰성 결여는 전자투표 실시를 막는 주요 요인이 되고 있다. 많은 전문가들은 투표자에게 투표기가 정확하게 동작하고 있음을 확신시키기 위해 영수증을 발급하는 방안을 긍정적으로 고려하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이미 잘 알려진 cut-and-choose 방식을 응용한 영수증 발급 방식을 제안한다. 제안하는 방식은 특수한 영수증 출력 장치나 제삼자에 의한 투표기 검증 등이 필요없으며, 기존 방식보다 높은 안전성을 제공한다.

2010년, Sebe 등은 원격 투표에 사용할 수 있는, 가벼우면서도 효율적인 믹스넷 방식을 제안하였다. 이 방식은 암호학적 해쉬연산 만을 이용하기 때문에 기존 방식처럼 복잡한 영지식증명(zero-knowledge proofs)이 필요없이 간단하면서도 믹스넷의 동작을 효율적으로 증명할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Sebe 등이 이용한 가정 사항을 그대로 유지하면서 보다 효율적인 믹스넷을 제안한다.

Intrusion tolerant technology is the technology to guarantee the Quality of service for certain amount time from the attacks which cannot be defended by the previous information security technologies. It increases the availability and confidentiality of the system by minimizing the damage from the attacks. And the fundamental components of the intrusion tolerant technology are voting and GMP(Group Management Protocol). In this paper, we present a new scheme to analyze the voting dependability and corrupt member detection dependability, which is very critical in GMP. Based on this scheme, we can make a new security policy and the methodology of analyzing the dependability itself also can be applicable to the other field.

The development of digital technology has changed the lives of many people in terms of the velocity and convenience of completing tasks. This technology has also been applied to the process of voting, yet electronic voting is seldom used. The existing electronic voting scheme operates by applying various encryption algorithms. This type of electronic voting can be problematic since the administrator is given full authority. The administrator cannot always be trusted, and the contents of the ballot could be forged or tampered by a single point of failure. To resolve these problems, researchers continue to apply blockchain technology to electronic voting. Blockchain technology provides reliability and data integrity because all untrusted network participants have the same data. In this paper, we propose an electronic voting system that secures reliability by applying blockchain technology to electronic voting and ensures secret voting.
