  • 선거를 전자적으로 구성하기 위해서는 비밀성(privacy), 선거권(eligibility) 등과 함께 전체검증(universal verifiability)과 매표방지(receipt-freeness) 속성을 반드시 제공해야 한다. 지금까지 제안된 전자선거 기법은 매표방지와 전체검증을 제공하기 위해 도청 불가능한 채널이라는 물리적인 가정 하에 이루어지거나 하드웨어 장치를 이용하더라도 장치에 대한 신뢰가 가정되었다. 본 논문에서는 믹스 서버나 랜덤마이저의 역할을 스마트카드와 같은 안전한 하드웨어 장치가 하므로 물리적 가정 없이 효율적으로 구현한다. 제안한 시스템은 표를 섞는 과정에서 permutation matrix를 사용하여 증명하므로 증명의 회수가 적고 간단하여 효율적이다. 또한, 지금까지 제안된 대부분의 선거 기법은 ElGamal 암호시스템의 준동형 특성을 이용하여 모든 표를 결합한 다음 해독하여 집계를 계산하는데 이는 이산대수 문제를 효율적으로 해결할 수 있어야 가능했다. 이 논문에서는 ElGamal 암호시스템과 다차잉여 기반 암호알고리즘인 Naccacne 암호알고리즘을 결합하여 표를 인코딩 함으로써 유권자의 수가 많은 선거에 대해서도 다항 시간 내에 집계가 가능하다.

  • Having the characteristics of unlinkability, anonymity, and unforgeability, blind signatures are widely used for privacy-related applications such as electronic cash, electronic voting and electronic auction systems where to maintain the anonymity of the participants. Among these applications, the blinded message is needed for a certain purpose by which users delegate signing operation and communicate with each other in a trusted manner. This application leads to the need of proxy blind signature schemes. Proxy blind signature is an important type of cryptographic primitive to realize the properties of both blind signature and proxy signature. Over the past years, many proxy blind signature algorithms have been adopted to fulfill such task based on the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) and the elliptic curve discrete log problem (ECDLP), and most of the existing studies mainly aim to provide effective models to satisfy the security requirements concerning a single blinded message. Unlike many previous works, the proposed scheme applies the signcryption paradigm to the proxy blind signature technology for handling multiple blinded messages at a time based on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). This innovative method thus has a higher level of security to achieve the security goals of both blind signature and proxy signature. Moreover, the evaluation results show that this proposed protocol is more efficient, consuming low communication overhead while increasing the volume of digital messages compared to the performance from other solutions. Due to these features, this design is able to be implemented in small low-power intelligent devices and very suitable and easily adoptable for e-system applications in pervasive mobile computing environment.
