Anonymous electronic voting method based on blockchain technology

Abstract

The invention discloses an anonymous electronic voting method based on a blockchain technology. According to the anonymous electronic voting method, voting contents are hidden through a homomorphic encryption algorithm, meanwhile, vote validity is ensured through a zero-knowledge proof technology, vote collecting, and the vote counting process and result disclosure are all conducted on a blockchain system, wherein voting results are decrypted through a dependable computing environment, the problem that a private key makes contact with a network in the voting result decrypting process under a traditional way is solved, and the anonymous attribute of voting is protected in the true sense.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to blockchain technology, in particular to an anonymous electronic voting method based on blockchain technology. Background technique [0002] A secret ballot is a form of voting used in elections.

[0004] In the scenario where the winner is required, it i...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] Traditional voting methods have shortcomings such as high cost and low efficiency, and the credibility of voting results is highly dependent on a centralized organization; with the advent of the Internet age, electronic voting technology has emerged

Electronic voting technology has reduced voting costs to a certain extent and improved efficiency, but there are still many shortcomings: the development and maintenance of voting systems for specific needs is costly; the voting process still needs to rely on centralized systems, and single-point risks are high and easily manipulated; difficult to implement in a bearer manner

Due to the above defects, electronic voting technology is more used in questionnaire surveys and cannot play a role in more important scenarios
