Abstract

A receipt used for electronic voting is a key component of voting techniques designed to provide voter verifiability. In this paper, we propose electronic voting scheme involving issuing a receipt based on the cut-and-choose mechanism. Compared with Chaum et al.'s scheme[3], this scheme does not require large amounts of physical ballots and trust assumptions on tellers. Furthermore, it is as efficient and user-friendly as any of the existing electronic voting schemes issuing receipts described in the relevant literature. They only require simple comparisons between the screen and the receipt during voter's voting process. This scheme is provably secure under the fact that the ElGamal encryption cryptosystem is semantically secure. We implemented the proposed scheme in according to the defined implementation requirement and provide the security analysis of the scheme.
