E-Voting Teaching Aide

Hello fellow Applied Cryptography students! 

Cynthia, David, Maheen, Oscar, and I would like to introduce our teaching aide on e-voting to you! This interesting and cutting-edge application of cryptography will help you understand how the concepts we learned in class can solve fascinating problems in the real world. You will also get a glimpse of some recent research on cryptographic techniques. Inside the teaching aide, you will learn how the following technologies are used for e-voting: 

• Secure Internet Voting Protocol (SIVP) 

• Blockchain and smart contracts 

• Open-Source E-Voting Software 

• Blind signatures
