Towards trustworthiness without trusted authorities

Description
This project focuses on improving public consensus systems by reducing reliance on the powerful authorities which are prevalent in modern electronic voting schemes. We investigate how new cryptographic protocols with human involvement can remove or reduce reliance on trusted authorities. We improve the in-polling-booth electronic voting scheme "Prêt à Voter" to allow higher privacy. We propose an online voting scheme called "VOTOR" that prevents the authorities from learning or casting votes, along with other desirable properties. Finally, we design a forward-secure and unconditionally anonymous linkable ring signature, with applications to onlinevoting.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
