Performance Evaluation of the Bingo Electronic Voting Protocol

Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2015, Vol 17, Issue 2

Abstract

 Abstract: Research in e-voting aims at designing usable and secure electronic voting systems. This paperprovides an empirical analysis of the computational performance of a prototype implementation of the Bingoelectronic voting protocol. Bingo is a receipt-based end-to-end verifiable electronic voting protocol that claimsthe property of coercion resistance. According to this work, a prototype of the Bingo design has been describedin terms of sequence and class diagrams. Also, its operation has been demonstrated using a case study of asample election. Four main operations have been analyzed; initialization of cyclic groups, generation ofdummy votes, zero-knowledge proof of fair vote distribution over candidates, and zero-knowledge proof ofreceipt correctness. The performance was affected by the cyclic group order, number of candidates, and numberof voters.
