Abstract: The present invention is directed to a secure electronic registration and voting solution incorporating integrated end-to-end voting system architecture and processes providing secure identification and authentication, voter registration, ballot definition, ballot presentation to the voter, voting, and ballot tabulation via secure transmission over the network. The disclosed embodiments of the present invention describe an integrated solution to voting via a network, such as the Internet. A user logs into the system using through an application on a local computer that presents an electronic ballot to a user and accepts the user's voting selections. The voting selections are then associated with the user's login data and an identifier for the local computer. The local application than encrypts the voting data and forwards a server that authenticates the encrypted voting data using the user login and the computer identifier. The still-encrypted voting data is then stored.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for dynamically auditing of electronic elections using an electronic registration and voting system. In particular, the present invention provides false voting data associated with false voters to the voting systems, recovers voting records associated with the false voters, and compares the stored voting records to the original false voting data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for fully electronic identity authentication, with particular application to electronic election registration and voting.
