Peel and Vote: A Paper Ballot Design for Publicly Verifiable Risk-Limiting Audits

· 0 citations · 23 references

TL;DR

This work proposes the first verifiable batch-level RLA scheme, which shifts the trust anchor from the EA directly to the voter and operates on groups of ballots (batches) to eliminate individual tracking hurdles and transforms a national-scale election into many smaller self-tallying elections: one for each batch.

Rules Before Oracles: Auditable, User-Configurable Argument Selection for Deliberative Polling

In a deliberative poll, once submissions outnumber what anyone will read, some mechanism chooses which arguments each voter sees, acquiring much of the decision; practice delegates it to opaque learned rankers, so a voter cannot recompute or contest the exposure that shaped their vote. We ask whether it can be a publis...

A UC-Secure Protocol for Privacy-Preserving Preferential Voting with Verifiable Encrypted Ballots

Preferential voting allows participants to rank multiple alternatives according to their preferences rather than being restricted to selecting a single option.

Coordinated Electromagnetic Side-Channel Attacks for Voter--Ballot Linking: A Case Study of the Brazilian E-Polling System

In this work, we show how two adversaries (Eve and Mallory) can coordinate an electromagnetic side-channel attack to recon- struct the vote displayed on an e-voting machine (EVM) and link it to a specific voter (Alice). Assuming that Eve has access to a place adjacent to the e-polling room (e.g., restroom, unsupervised...
