A Practical Electronic Voting Protocol Based upon Oblivious Signature Scheme

Electronic voting is one of the basic applications of cryptographic protocols. A practical and secure electronic voting scheme is proposed in which we use oblivious signature technology to guarantee that the vote getting signed is actually the one of L predetermined candidates. Compared with the protocols that used blind signature technology, it is more useful. Meanwhile, our scheme meets the requirements of large scale general elections. It has practicality.
