Title:
A Novel Approach to e-Voting with Group Identity Based Identification and Homomorphic Encryption

Authors: Apurva K Vangujar, Buvana Ganesh, Paolo Palmieri

Abstract:

Electronic voting (e-voting) aims to provide a sustainable and accessible environment for voters while preserving anonymity and trust. In this paper, we present a novel e-voting scheme that combines Group Identity-based Identification (GIBI) scheme with Homomorphic Encryption (HE) based on the Distributed ElGamal (DE) cryptosystem. Our scheme allows for efficient voter authentication through the use of a Discrete Logarithm (DL)-based identification protocol and enables encrypted vote counting without the need for decryption. Additionally, our scheme allows for individual and universal verifiability through the use of Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs. We also propose some future work to enhance the scheme for more secure or practical use.
