Security Properties

Electronic voting protocols have many advantages over traditional voting but they are complex and subject to many kinds of attacks. Therefore, the use of formal verification methods is crucial to ensure some security properties. We propose to model a recent protocol of remote electronic voting in the applied Pi-calculus. We focalized on some security properties such as fairness which expresses the impossibility of obtaining partial results, eligibility which requires that only legitimate voters can vote, coercion resistance which ensures that no voter may vote under pressure, and verifiability which supposes that anyone can verify the accuracy of the final result. We proved either manually or using the automated verification tool ProVerif that the protocol satisfies these security properties.
