ELECTRONIC VOTING METHOD AND SYSTEM AND RECORDING MEDIUM HAVING RECORDED THEREON A PROGRAM FOR IMPLEMENTING THE METHOD

A voter Vi encrypts his vote content vi with a public key kPC of a counter C, then concatenates the encrypted vote content xi with a tag ti to obtain a ballot zi, then randomizes it with a random number ri to create a preprocessed text ei, and sends it and a signature si therefor to an election administrator A. The administrator A generates a blind signature di for the preprocessed text ei and sends it back to the voter Vi. The voter Vi excludes the influence of the random number ri from the blind signature di to obtain administrator signature yi, and sends vote data <zi, yi> to a counter C. The counter C verifies the validity of the administrator signature yi and, if valid, generates and publishes a vote list containing the data <zi, yi> to the voter Vi. The voter Vi checks the vote list to make sure that it contains the data <zi, yi> with his tag ti held in the ballot zi. The counter C decrypts the encrypted vote content xi in the ballot zi to obtain the vote content vi, and counts the number of votes polled for each candidate.
