Efficient and Secure Operations of the New Secure E-Voting Authentication Preparation Scheme (EV-APS)

Abstract In this Paper, we proposed an efficient and secure operations of the New E-Voting Authentication Preparation Scheme (EVAPS). The proposed operations and modifications acts as an enhancement over the latest blind signature protocols and support the new secure EV-APS proposed by the authors in [18]. The new scheme and its operations applies many modified mechanisms and security aspects that supports the authentication as one of the important requirements in the preparation stage of any E-Voting protocol. Some of these modified schemes are the modified PVID scheme, Kerberos authentication protocol and the Ferguson E-Cash protocol in addition to many others modified techniques and protocols. These modified schemes and protocols will enhance the security measures and adds a strong wall of protection, confidentiality, non-repudiation and authentication requirements.
