Abstract
Electronic voting including a registration authority server, an election authority server, and a voter-host computer connected to an electronic identity card associated with a voter casting a vote. The registration authority server computer and the secure electronic identity card establish a first cross-domain unlinkable pseudonym for the secure electronic identification token, the first cross-domain unlinkable pseudonym being unique to the electronic identity card and the registration authority. The registration authority writes a vote-eligibility attribute on the electronic identity card. The election authority server computer retrieves a second cross-domain unlinkable pseudonym and the vote-eligibility attribute from the electronic identity card, the second cross-domain unlinkable pseudonym being associated with the election authority, and writes an attribute on the electronic identity card indicative of receipt of a vote cast by the voter.
