Abstract:

There are many positive aspects of electronic voting systems: security, verifiability, convenience, resource conservation, and the like. However, there is still lack of trust for electronic voting systems within the public. One of the reasons could be that the notions involved in electronic voting are challenging to understand for the general public. In this project, we tried to create public trust through an explanation system. An explanation system was made to explain how a modern electronic voting system works. User testing was performed after that, to verify whether this explanation system

Voting systems aim to provide trustworthiness in elections; however, they have always been a target of malicious behaviours due to difficulties in designing such complex systems and the enormous value of controlling the election results, causing unfair election outcome, loss of personal privacy and trust in democracy.

Direct Recording Electronic Voting Systems (DRE) are some of the most popular forms of electronic voting and yet they are riddled with problems. Current voting systems are poorly designed and migration to newer software can be costly.

As government proceeds into an increasingly sophisticated era of voting technology, it needs to consider a better platform.

Abstract:

Building trust is a common requirement in distributed environments especially since many transactions now occur on a person-to-person basis. Examples range from e-commerce on the Internet to peer-to-peer and grid resource sharing. Many solutions to the problem of requiring trust among unknown entities rely on the use of a reputation metric to assess the risk of a potential transaction. However, such reputation systems require (often implicitly) that trust is transitive which can be a problematic assumption. This dissertation proposes a novel mechanism which we call trust*.

Abstract:

Voting and general elections serves as a cornerstone of modern democracies as it is through this process that the public makes their political positions heard and collectively elect leaders. While many parts of governments across the world are focusing heavily on digitization, voting is one area that remains offline and analog in many developed countries. Current voting systems continue to be scrutinized, most notably in the US after the 2016 presidential election where integrity of votes was put into question.

Based on a comprehensive literature review, a classification of the existing privacy preserving approaches and a taxonomy of the existing cryptographic voting protocols extendin

The first part of the thesis deals with the issue of power in a voting system. In order to better analyze it, we investigate the way of combining a communication structure with the already existing indices of power.

Thus, in this thesis we propose a decentralized approach to CF recommender systems that uses the T-Man algorithm to create and maintain an overlay network that in turn would facilitate the generation of recomm

Trust management is an important issue in the analysis and design of secure information systems. This is especially the case where centrally managed security is not possible. Trust issues arise not only in business functions, but also in technologies used to support these functions. There are a vast number of services and applications that must accommodate appropriate notions of trust. Trust and trust management have become a hot research area. The motivation of this dissertation is to build up a comprehensive trust management approach that covers the analysis/modelling of trust relationships
