Abstract :
Recent technological advances in mobile communications have allowed public to take part in noncritical elections (such as deciding the most valuable player in sports events) with low-power, low-cost and small sized portable communication devices. However, more critical elections (such as political elections) have not yet held in mobile communication environments, mainly because of security concerns, communication and computation constrains of portable communication devices. In this paper, we come up with a secure electronic election scheme in mobile communication environments, which meets completeness, soundness, privacy, unreusability, eligibility, fairness, and verifiability. Our scheme is based on blind signature and needs low computation complexity in portable communication devices
