Abstract: Methods and systems that enable reliable audits of a number of predetermined trust requirements for games by electronic means, either on-site or remote, are disclosed. A system including a gaming module to which the players interact with a security module and an audit module capable of several degrees of dispersion and/or grouping performs provision by the gaming module to the security module of digital information containing significant events occurred during the games, generation by the security module of a protected record for each of the cited significant events, storage by the security module of every protected record, generating a file of protected records, and access by the audit module to the file of protected records, independent from the games operator, to verify the correct development of the games.

Abstract: The invention relates to an auditable method and system for generating a verifiable vote record that is suitable for electronic voting. The inventive method is characterized in that a voting module, an audit module and a verification module perform the following steps in which: voting options are selected by the voter in the voting module; the voting options are sent from the voting module to the audit module; a vote record is generated in the verification module which contains the voting options selected by the voters in the voting module; the voter confirms that the vote record contains the voting options that s/he selected in the voting module by direct verification of the vote record; and audit information is generated in the audit module in order to secure the electronic vote and/or the associated vote record which are both generated from the voting options selected and confirmed by the voter.

Abstract: The inventive method is characterised in that, following a voting option selection step (201), a verification module (102), which is associated with a voting terminal (101), is used to perform the following steps: reception (202) of digital data relating to the voting options selected by a voter (103) at the voting terminal (101); verification (203) of the options selected by the voter (103), which are in some way encoded in the data received during the preceding step; confirmation (204) by the voter (103) of the voting options presented during the previous step; and, upon acceptance of said voting options by the voter (103), generation of a digital record to protect the integrity of the digital data received during the above-mentioned data-reception step.

Abstract: The method employs interrelated cryptographic processes and protocols to provide reliability to vote casting, ballots recount, and verification of vote or poll results. These cryptographic processes and protocols jointly constitute a cryptographic voting scheme capable of meeting the specific reliability requirements of an electronic voting where voters remotely cast their votes. These reliability requirements include voter authentication and privacy; accurate results, the impossibility of coercion and sale of votes, verifying the final results and, if necessary, the secrecy of intermediate results before completing the vote or poll. The cryptographic voting method minimizes the confidence level to be placed on any of the electronic voting individual party and participants.

Abstract: System and method to allow a secure validation that an Internet provider site fulfils predetermined conditions to be used in a network, to manage electronic communication between one o more users and one or more provider sites, each of them capable to establish a coupling to a verification server of an authorisation body via secure connections, and each provider sites including a site identifying feature that is validated through automatic connection with said verification server. At each of said provider sites one-time cryptographic credentials associated to said site identifying feature are generated each time a user tries to verify whether the site fulfils predetermined conditions and said verification server authenticates at said each time said site identifying feature by processing said one-time cryptographic credentials.
