Embodiment Construction

[0031] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] FIG. 1 conceptually shows an electronic voting module and an electronic voting method using the same according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic voting module 10 is a module that includes an interface 11 and can be used when connected to a USB interface of a personal computer 1. The module main body 12 has a card port 14 into which a detachable memory unit 13 composed of an IC card can be inserted. A global positioning system GSP receiving unit 15 is connected to the module main body 12 . Incidentally, the personal computer 1 can be connected to the Internet 2 or a private network via ISDN, ADSL, CATV, wireless LAN, or the like.

[0033] The interface 11 for connecting with the personal computer 1 is not limited to a USB interface, but may be other card slots, such as a PC card, or a wireless inter...

Abstract

Though simple in construction, an electronic balloting module and an electronic balloting method according to the invention can prevent disguise and negation, can eliminate a time difference resulting from an area difference and can also prevent tampering of an electronic balloting content. The electronic balloting module includes an interface 11 connected to an electronic equipment terminal for conducting electronic balloting through a network, a timepiece for generating time information, a storage unit and an operation unit each having a tamper-resistant structure, time calibration means connected to a predetermined time supervisory center through the electronic equipment terminal at least when the calibration means is operated, subjected to time calibration by the quartz timepiece and receiving a time supervision certificate, and time stamp means for acquiring time information of the time as electronic balloting time information from the quartz timepiece and outputting. an electronic certificate obtained by affixing a signature to the electronic balloting information and the electronic balloting time information by a secrete key of a predetermined public key cipher system with the time supervision certificate to the electronic balloting means provided that the time stamp means receives electronic balloting data from the electronic balloting means of the electronic equipment terminal or electronic balloting information comprising a unidirectional function value of the electronic balloting data.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electronic voting module and an electronic voting method using the same, which are very useful for implementing electronic voting such as online auctions, bids, and time-limited entries. Background technique [0002] Various types of electronic voting, such as online auctions, bids, and time-limited entries, have generally been performed for predetermined members. However, in order to perform legitimate electronic voting, it is necessary to prevent masquerading, denial, falsification, etc. of members. [0003] When holding an online auction, it was necessary in the past to distribute information of auction items by broadcast communication using satellite communication, and accept bids for the auction through member terminals connected via telephone lines. [0004] When inputting through telephone lines, expensive equipment with large capacity and high processing speed must be prepared on the receiving side in consid...
