Coercion-free electronic elections using Tor

| Sumario: | The goal of this thesis is to propose a solution to prevent an attacker who has some degree of control over a network to impede voters which are using that network. That is a system that is resistant to forced-abstention coercion attacks. Although the goal for the thesis is forced-abstention attacks, indeed, such a system will also help prevent (or at least, make them more difficult) the other described attacks. The fact that an attacker cannot know when a voter did vote or even if they voted at all adds a layer of complexity to the hypothetical attack. |
