Kristian Gjøsteen, from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), has described the cryptographic protocol that will be used in the trial with internet. You may find the full version of the protocol here.

The e-vote 2011-project has, in co-operation with Scytl Secure Electronic Voting and Kristian Gjøsteen from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), developed at security mechanism that by use of cryptographic techniques allows the voter to confirm that her vote has been recorded correctly. This is done without revealing the contents of the ballot to anyone but the voter. Cryptography is used in several ways to protect the integrity of the ballot and the election.

Kristian Gjøsteen, from NTNU, has described the cryptografhic protocol that will be used in the trial with internet voting in the 2011 local government elections. This document describe the full version of the protocol:
