A Modular Eballot System - V0.6

The authors consider a reasonably simple voting system which can be implemented for web-based ballots. Simplicity, modularity and the requirement of compatibility with current web browsers leads to a system which satisfies a set of security requirements for a ballot system which is not complete but sufficient in many cases. Due to weak-eligibility and vote-selling, this system cannot be used for political or similar ballots. Most of current (commercial) web-based voting, balloting or polling system include little if no real security, in particular concerning privacy of the voter. Ballots are collected on a web site and stored in a database. Privacy of the voter is often guaranteed only as far as the vote is recorded in the database independently of the voting credentials.
