Collaborate Disseminate
In the book "Introduction to the Theory of Computation", Michael Sipser writes
The field of cryptography, as this area is known, now extends well beyond secret codes for private communication and addresses a broad range of issue… Continue reading Transparent Voting and Advance Secret Code [migrated]
This is on a somewhat layman’s level. I’m not a security guru.
Looking at this in very, very broad and general terms:
Election fraud is definitely a serious issue that needs to guarded against pretty heavily, ideally by many third-party o… Continue reading Is automated and digitized ballot processing inherently more dangerous than manual pencil and paper?
Not just electronic voting, but in election security general.
I think it part is because there are many components to it, and it has many components that could be compromised.
What are some of the top 3 reasons why this problem is a partic… Continue reading Election security is considered one of the most difficult problems in computer security [closed]
A family of N people (where N >= 3) are members of a cult. A suggestion is floated anonymously among them to leave the cult. If, in fact, every single person secretly harbors the desire to leave, it would be best if the family knew abou… Continue reading How could I make the results of a yes/no vote inaccessible unless it’s unanimous in the affirmative, without a trusted third party?
The question is about voting in decentralized systems. Quadratic voting is a wonderful way to reach consensus without arranging property qualifications. However, quadratic voting requires a KYC: otherwise, the attacker will simply distribu… Continue reading Algorithm for quadratic voting in anonymous decentralized systems
A local brewery recently ran a photo contest where the grand prize winner is determined by a public vote using a third party platform/administration. One of the entrants reached out to us because they suspected that someone was using a pla… Continue reading Identifying a Cheater in Public Voting Campaign

What method would you use to determine if a machine is a voting machine? do they give off a unique si… Continue reading How did Vice detect voting machines connected to the internet?
I am a theoretical physicist (a PhD candidate) and try to learn about cryptography as a hobby. One of the interesting aspects I had found is that many respectable scientists say that electronic voting is not safe, and so I st… Continue reading What is wrong with my electronic voting scheme? [on hold]
What are the security flaws of this voting system ?
Let’s say one month before the elections an offline machine auto-generates sealed envelopes for each voter which contain 3 unique GUID codes. The envelops are sent by mail … Continue reading Online Political Voting System
The US Government is working on an electronic voting system that it hopes will prevent people from tinkering with voting machines at the polls. Continue reading DARPA is working on an open source, secure e-voting system
