Information Privacy

As e-governance and digital democracy grow in prominence, the importance of secure, transparent, and coercion-resistant electronic voting (e-voting) systems becomes critical. Two key contributions in the field—Helios and VoteAgain—offer valuable insights into how modern cryptographic techniques can fulfill the rigorous demands of electoral security while enhancing voter trust. In this article, we explore the design, […]

Electronic voting (e-voting) is transforming how democratic processes are conducted, offering scalability, speed, and accessibility. However, it also raises critical concerns around security, privacy, and coercion. To ensure integrity and trust in digital elections, advanced cryptographic techniques are implemented in various e-voting protocols. This article explores the core technologies that underpin secure and coercion-resistant e-voting

As electronic voting (e-voting) systems become more widely adopted, so do the expectations for stronger privacy guarantees. Basic ballot secrecy—ensuring that a voter’s choice remains confidential—is only the beginning. In high-stakes elections and adversarial environments, more robust properties like receipt freeness and coercion resistance are crucial to preserve democratic integrity. This article explores the advanced

Electronic voting (e-voting) brings new dimensions to democratic participation, offering efficiency and accessibility. However, it also presents complex security and privacy challenges. Ensuring the trustworthiness of digital elections requires careful design rooted in cryptographic principles. This article explores the essential security and privacy requirements for e-voting systems, with a particular focus on ballot privacy, one

Electronic voting, especially online voting, has become a focal point in the intersection of technology and democracy. In their seminal paper, “A Review of E-Voting: The Past, Present and Future” (Gibson et al., 2016), the authors offer an in-depth analysis of how e-voting systems have evolved, their current state, and the anticipated trajectory of this

Elections are fundamental to democratic governance, enabling citizens to choose their representatives and influence the direction of public policy. As technology evolves, so too do the methods of conducting elections. Electronic voting (e-voting) and internet voting (i-voting) represent the digital transformation of traditional electoral systems, aiming to increase efficiency, accessibility, and accuracy. This article explores

Electronic voting (e-voting) has become a critical case study in the domain of information privacy, offering a deep dive into the intersection of technology, democratic integrity, and cryptographic protections. As digital transformation continues to modernize how societies operate, understanding the complex architecture of e-voting systems is essential for cybersecurity professionals and technologists alike.

Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) enables computations on encrypted data without decryption, preserving data confidentiality throughout processing. This capability is particularly valuable in machine learning applications where sensitive data, such as healthcare records or financial information, must remain private.​ Application Overview In a typical scenario, a data owner encrypts their dataset using FHE and sends it

FHE enables computations on encrypted data without decryption, preserving confidentiality throughout processing. However, its implementation is complex, involving multiple entities:​Zama – Open Source Cryptography+1Zama – Open Source Cryptography+1Zama – Open Source Cryptography The interplay among these participants introduces challenges such as trust assumptions, potential collusion, and the need for verifiable computation to ensure integrity without
