Abstract

In today^s era of technological progress, the electoral system has significantly changed with the introduction of Electronic Voting, or E-voting. The main goal of E-voting is to boost participation and enhance security, tackling the issues that come with traditional voting methods. This new system uses computer technology to make the voting process more efficient and convenient.
The success of an E-voting system is judged by four fundamental principles: Accuracy, Invulnerability, Privacy, and Verifiability. Despite the advancements, protecting voter privacy remains a significant concern in traditional E-voting systems, where it^s often hard to keep voter identities separate from their votes. Therefore, it is essential to develop a solution that ensures the preservation of voter identity privacy.
One promising solution is using Schorr^s Zero Knowledge ID Protocol. This method allows voters to confirm their identities without sharing any extra information, ensuring their privacy is protected throughout the E-voting process. By incorporating Schorr^s Zero Knowledge ID Protocol, we can boost both security and privacy for voters while still upholding the critical principles of accuracy and verifiability.
As technology and innovative solutions continue to evolve, E-voting can become a more effective way to conduct fair, secure, and transparent elections. In summary, the E-voting system with Schorr^s Zero Knowledge ID Protocol marks a significant step forward in creating election systems that meet modern demands for privacy and security.
