Summary:
E-voting systems comprise a powerful technology that improves the election
procedure by significantly increasing tallying speed and reducing election
costs. Internet voting systems allow voters to cast their votes quickly and
remotely, potentially promoting democracy by providing considerably improved
accessibility for individuals that are physically hindered, thus increasing
overall voter participation. On top of that, there exist internet voting
systems that allow voters to directly verify the entire election procedure,
thereby confirming that absolutely no entities have altered the election result
in some way. The present thesis describes the design and implementation of an
application for the Android operating system that automates the procedure which
the trustees of a new, distributed, end-to-end verifiable, internet voting
system have to follow. The broader goal is to outline the architecture and
provide a reference implementation for an efficient, robust and secure e-voting
Android application, not just for a trustee, but possibly for any voting entity
in general, showing that today’s ordinary mobile devices are powerful enough to
effectively be used for such tasks.
