Abstract


We present Farnel, a cryptographic protocol for electronic voting schemes which uses mix nets, blind signatures and scrutinizers in order to allow the execution of secure voting over computer networks. Farnel has been developed based on the Brazilian election process before the use of electronic voting machines.

Keywords: security, cryptographic protocols, digital voting
