Voterify: Using The Homomorphic Encryption Project (THEP) to Provide Privacy and Verifiability in Internet Voting

Abstract

Internet voting (I-Voting) has already been used in several elections but its use is not yet widespread due to numerous security requirements. Among the top security requirements are privacy and verifiability. We created Voterify, an Internet voting application, that uses The Homomorphic Encryption Project (THEP) to look into the feasibility of using Paillier cryptosystem in providing privacy preserving and verifiable elections in Internet voting.
