Verified Voting Protocols and Blockchains

There is constant interest for Internet Voting by election commissions around the world. At the same time, there is a need for online voting in blockchain governance. However, building an internet voting system is not easy: The design of new cryptographic protocols is error-prone, and public trust in the elected body is easily threatened. This project aims to improve the security and quality of the internet voting system and influence regulation on minimum quality requirements for blockchains.
