Abstract

This essay contains the results of an investigation about how a "perfect" internet voting system in Sweden would be implemented. No implementation has been done, this paper is merely an investigation on a theoretical level how to go about to design such a system. Which security schemes should be used in order to maintain the integrity of the voters? How should the system identify each voter? What new problems does the conversion to this internet voting system bring? Can voting coercion be avoided? Those are some of the questions studied and answered.
