# MVP Specification - E-Voting System
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
Minimum Viable Product for secure electronic voting with blockchain and post-quantum cryptography.
|
|
|
|
## Implemented Features
|
|
|
|
### Core Cryptographic Components
|
|
- ✅ **ElGamal Homomorphic Encryption**: Vote encryption and homomorphic operations (MVP uses ElGamal, Paillier architecture compatible)
|
|
- ✅ **Zero-Knowledge Proofs**: Fiat-Shamir protocol proving ballot validity (0 or 1) without revealing vote
|
|
- ✅ **Digital Signatures**: RSA-PSS signatures for ballot authentication and blockchain block signing
|
|
- ✅ **Secure Hashing**: SHA-256 for blockchain hash chain and ballot identification
|
|
- ✅ **Blockchain**: Immutable vote recording with linked hash chain (SHA-256)
|
|
|
|
**Post-Quantum Ready** (Optional):
|
|
- Kyber (ML-KEM): Post-quantum key encapsulation (architecture ready, depends on liboqs-python)
|
|
- Dilithium (ML-DSA): Post-quantum digital signatures (architecture ready, depends on liboqs-python)
|
|
|
|
### API Endpoints (Implemented)
|
|
```
|
|
POST /api/votes/setup # ✅ Initialize election with crypto keys
|
|
GET /api/votes/public-keys # ✅ Retrieve public keys for encryption
|
|
POST /api/votes/submit # ✅ Submit encrypted ballot with ZKP & signature
|
|
GET /api/votes/blockchain # ✅ Get blockchain state with verification
|
|
GET /api/votes/results # ✅ Get vote results with verification proofs
|
|
POST /api/votes/verify-blockchain # ✅ Verify blockchain integrity
|
|
GET /api/votes/status # ✅ Check voter voting status
|
|
GET /api/votes/history # ✅ Get voter vote history
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Frontend Features (Implemented)
|
|
- ✅ Election details display
|
|
- ✅ Client-side ballot encryption (ElGamal)
|
|
- ✅ Zero-knowledge proof generation
|
|
- ✅ Ballot signing and submission
|
|
- ✅ Multi-step voting interface (select → confirm → submit → success)
|
|
- ✅ Vote confirmation with security notices
|
|
- ✅ Transaction ID tracking for verification
|
|
- ✅ Error handling and user feedback
|
|
|
|
### Backend Modules (Implemented)
|
|
- ✅ `backend/blockchain.py`: Blockchain data structure with integrity verification
|
|
- ✅ `backend/routes/votes.py`: Complete voting API with blockchain integration
|
|
- ✅ `backend/scripts/scrutator.py`: Vote counting, verification, and audit reporting
|
|
- ✅ `backend/crypto/encryption.py`: ElGamal homomorphic encryption
|
|
- ✅ `backend/crypto/signatures.py`: Digital signature operations
|
|
- ✅ `backend/crypto/hashing.py`: SHA-256 hashing and key derivation
|
|
- ✅ `backend/crypto/zk_proofs.py`: Zero-knowledge proof implementation
|
|
|
|
### Frontend Components (Implemented)
|
|
- ✅ `frontend/lib/crypto-client.ts`: Client-side cryptographic operations
|
|
- ✅ `frontend/components/voting-interface.tsx`: Complete voting interface component
|
|
|
|
## Security Properties
|
|
|
|
| Property | Mechanism | Guarantee |
|
|
|----------|-----------|-----------|
|
|
| **Vote Secrecy** | ElGamal Encryption | Votes encrypted before leaving client; server never sees plaintext |
|
|
| **Vote Integrity** | Blockchain + Signatures | Immutable blocks with SHA-256 chain; any tampering breaks chain |
|
|
| **Anonymity** | Transaction IDs | Voter ID verified once at authentication; TX ID used in blockchain instead |
|
|
| **Individual Verifiability** | ZKP + Blockchain | Voter can verify their encrypted ballot in blockchain |
|
|
| **Universal Verifiability** | Public Blockchain | Anyone can verify chain integrity and vote counting |
|
|
| **Authentication** | Digital Signatures | Ballots signed; blocks signed by authority |
|
|
| **Post-Quantum Ready** | Kyber + Dilithium | Architecture supports PQC (optional, conditional on library) |
|
|
|

|
## Known Limitations (MVP Scope)
|
|
1. **No Persistent Blockchain**: Blockchain stored in memory per application instance (suitable for demo/testing)
|
|
2. **No Distributed Consensus**: Single-authority blockchain (suitable for election official)
|
|
3. **No Voter Key Management**: Simple voter registration without per-voter crypto keys
|
|
4. **No Encrypted Results**: Results calculated from plaintext vote counts (not homomorphically)
|
|
5. **Optional PQC**: Post-quantum algorithms available when liboqs-python library installed
