  1. CSI-4138/CEG-4394 Design of Secure Computer Systems Virtual Election Booth Lab Project Jean-Yves Chouinard Fall 2002

  2. Secure Election Protocol • Implementation of a secure election protocol • Use of two central facilities: • CTF: Central Tabulating Facility • CLA: Central Legitimization Agency • Design objectives: • secure protocol for voters to vote online • ensuring individual privacy • No possibility of cheating the election

  3. Secure Election Protocol Requirements • Only authorized voters can vote • Authorized voters can vote only once • All voters can verify that their vote has been taken into account and tabulated • No one can determine for whom anyone voted • No one can change anyone else’s vote • Everyone knows who voted and who didn’t

  4. Central Tabulating Facility and Central Legitimization Agency • The CLA certifies the voters: • Each voter sends a message to the CLA requesting a validation number. • The CLA returns a random validation number and maintains a list of validation numbers and the corresponding recipients. • The CLA sends the list of validation numbers to the CTF.

  5. Central Tabulating Facility and Central Legitimization Agency • The CTF counts the votes: • The voters sends their vote to the CTF. • The CTF checks the voters validation numbers against the list received from the CLA: if the validation number is valid then the vote is counted and the validation number disabled(to prevent multiple votes from the same voter). • After all the votes are entered, the CTF publish the election results.

  6. Term Project Report • Teams of three students • Any team member should be able to present the report and answer all questions • Detailed 15-25 page written technical report • Neat, readable and self-contained • No raw computer outputs; include only relevant program exerpts (reduced properly in size) • Include all relevant references, figures tables, diagrams, etc.

  7. Term Project Report Format • Summary (1 page): motivation, literature review, methodology used, results and general conclusion • Introduction: backgraound material, scope and limitations of the term project (secure election protocol) • Literature review, methodology: main body of the term project report • Results: description of the results (exlain all tables, figures, flow charts, block diagrams, listings, etc. • Conclusion: general conclusion, limitations, recommendations for future implementations • References: include the references used and relevant to this project: all entries must be completed • Appendices: as needed support the main body of the report
