| Title: | Civitas: Implementation of a Threshold Cryptosystem |

| Abstract: | This paper describes the implementation of a threshold cryptosystem for Civitas, a secure electronic voting system. The cryptosystem improves the availability of Civitas by enabling tabulation to complete despite the failure of some agents. The implementation includes a sophisticated distributed key generation protocol, which was designed by Gennaro, Jarecki,
Krawczyk, and Rabin. The cryptosystem is implemented in Jif, a security-typed language. |
