CA 2438985

A facility for discerning corruption of an electronic ballot is described. The facility sends from a first computer system to a second computer system an encrypted ballot that reflects a ballot choice selected by a voter. The facility then sends a confirmation from the second computer system to the first computer system, which serves to convey the decrypted contents of the encrypted ballot as received at the second computer system, and which is generated without decrypting the encrypted ballot. In the first computer system, the facility uses the confirmation to determine whether the decrypted contents of the encrypted ballot as received at the second computer system match the ballot choice selected by the voter.

L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant de discerner la corruption d'un bulletin de vote électronique, qui envoie, à partir d'un premier système informatique, à destination d'un second système informatique, un bulletin de vote chiffré reflétant le choix d'un votant. Ledit dispositif envoie ensuite au premier système informatique une confirmation du second système informatique, qui communique le contenu déchiffré du bulletin de vote chiffré tel que reçu par le second système informatique, et qui est générée sans déchiffrement du bulletin de vote chiffré. Dans le premier système informatique, le dispositif utilise la confirmation pour déterminer si le contenu déchiffré du bulletin de vote chiffré tel que reçu par le second système informatique correspond au bulletin de vote choisi par le votant.
