> uses a secret only exists on each individual phone

There is actually a way to prevent individuals from being traced while having a strong membership proof. This can be achieved by issuing signatures on a relative generator created in an exponentiation mix together with a set of output pseudonyms. One can picture it as strands braided together where it is hard to trace the link between the input and output strands, while it is very easy to tell that such a link exists.

For the past few years, I have been exploring the idea of building an e-voting system around the anonymisation of voters rather than votes. In contrast to existing systems, the design enables the publication of all election evidence, verifying the legitimacy of the votes without sacrificing either privacy or transparency. It does all complex ElGamal re-encryption mixing before elections without the voters' active participation by simply shifting a relative generator on which voters would cast votes. In addition, election administrators do not need to take care of keeping secrets except ones used for server identification to the voters' devices. This would make the Price/Security for running elections small compared to what is already out there.

Currently, the project is in a heavy development stage. I have settled on making a microservice which would be easily integrable into existing systems allowing members to enrol for voting by simply scanning a QR code. At the same time, the admins would be free to choose how they want to present data. REST API for the user and server, which onboards users, is now finalised and now I am working on UX for the client application and hopefully will start to code a prototype in GTK in the coming weeks.

The feeling is much like playing a game of chess with oneself. Trying to finish it while I am young and can still keep the scope of the problem in my mind. If anyone is interested, I do enjoy a friendly argument ;)
