Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Loss of anonymity, bribery, and coercion are more serious in small-scale voting than in large-scale one. This paper shows that the entropy of each vote can be decreased, i.e., the anonymity of voting can be compromised, by opening the number of votes that each candidate had. The paper gives two strict definitions of anonymity instead of the previous definition and, based on the new definitions, it proposes a new e-voting scheme that keeps the number of votes secret. The security of the propose scheme is equivalent to that of an existing multi-party protocol.
