Abstract

This paper presents two approaches of privacy-preserving voting system: Blind Signature-based Voting (BSV) and Homorphic Encryption Based Voting (HEV). BSV is simple, stable, and scalable, but requires additional anonymous property in the communication with the blockchain. HEV simultaneously protects voting privacy against traffic-analysis attacks, prevents cooperation interruption by malicious voters with a high probability, but the scalability is limited. We further apply sampling to mitigate the scalability problem in HEV and simulate the performance under different voting group size and number of samples.
