Voting with Designated Verifier Signature-Like Protocol

We propose in this paper a new voting scheme where the voter, while receiving a receipt for his/her vote allowing further contestations, cannot use it to reveal the vote to other unspecified entities, and therefore cannot be forced to do so. The scheme is based on the concept of strong designated verifier signature scheme, and is very cheap in both computation and data communication, regarding to other works on the subject. Keywords. Electronic vote, security protocol, designated verifier digital signatures
