论文摘要
近年来，尤其是在Covid-19爆发爆发之后，远程投票变得更加至关重要。区块链技术及其好处（例如权力下放，安全性和透明度）鼓励远程投票系统使用区块链。对现有解决方案的分析表明，匿名性，鲁棒性和可伸缩性是基于区块链的选举系统中的常见问题。在这项工作中，我们提出了eLaitanon，这是一种基于区块链的排名选举协议，重点介绍了匿名性，鲁棒性和可扩展性。欧洲人通过使选民通过零知识证明进行匿名投票来实现匿名。通过使用定时机器在投票过程中删除当局的直接控制来实现鲁棒性。结果表明，与以前的作品相比，元男子在现有作品中是可扩展的，因为它可以将气体消耗降至89％。拟议的协议包括候选提案系统和可交换统计库。还提出了扩展，以最大程度地减少选举当局的信任假设。我们的代码可在https://github.com/ceyonur/electanon上找到。
Remote voting has become more critical in recent years, especially after the Covid-19 outbreak. Blockchain technology and its benefits like decentralization, security, and transparency have encouraged remote voting systems to use blockchains. Analysis of existing solutions reveals that anonymity, robustness, and scalability are common problems in blockchain-based election systems. In this work, we propose ElectAnon, a blockchain-based, ranked-choice election protocol focusing on anonymity, robustness, and scalability. ElectAnon achieves anonymity by enabling voters to cast their votes via zero-knowledge proofs anonymously. Robustness is realized by removing the direct control of the authorities in the voting process by using timed-state machines. Results show that ElectAnon is scalable amongst existing works as it reduces the gas consumption up to 89% compared to previous works. The proposed protocol includes a candidate proposal system and swappable tallying libraries. An extension is also proposed to minimize the trust assumption on election authorities. Our code is available on https://github.com/ceyonur/electanon.
