| Oct 22 at 14:33 | comment | added | Engineer Toast | @gnasher729 Thank you for the link. For those interested, quoting from the Wikipedia article: "A field test has found ThreeBallot to have significant privacy, security, and usability problems, as well as implementation pitfalls." This was followed by 4 different citations. | |

The vote <-> voter relationship needs to be disconnected in both directions, not just in one. | |

| Jun 16, 2017 at 11:25 | comment | added | gnasher729 | I'm trying to find details, but a few years ago one of the inventors of RSA (Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman) demonstrated a system that achieves verifiability with a receipt that the voter can verify but nobody else. If you show me your receipt, I cannot verify how you voted, but I can actually verify that your vote was counted correctly. You can show your receipt to 100 people and then 100 people can verify that your vote was counted correctly. | |

It's only anonymous in that they can't get from the ballot to you, only from the ballot to the receipt or the receipt to the ballot. But a receipt to ballot link is in and of itself a problem for corruption. | |
