This paper describes the design and implementation of Civitas. Assurance is established in the design through security proofs, and in the implementation through information-flow security analysis. Experimental results give a quantitative evaluation of the tradeoffs between time, cost, and security.en-UScoercion resistancecryptographic protocolssecure bulletin boardsverifiable electionsvoter registrationelectronic votingMonograph or Book2012-02-2310.1109/SP.2008.32
