A computer-implemented method of making a decision on a blockchain is provided. The method comprises providing a blockchain voting commitment transaction (2) redeemable by means of a first signature (σ(A.sub.m), σ(B.sub.m)) associated with a selection (A, B) and a second signature (σ(A), σ(B)) associated with the selection, providing each of a plurality of participants (U.sub.i) with at least one share (k.sub.A,i, K.sub.B,i) of at least one respective secret value (k.sub.A, k.sub.B) wherein a threshold number of shares is required in order to execute said second signature, and submitting the blockchain voting commitment transaction (2) to the blockchain.

A method and a system for managing voting of an alliance chain based on variable strategies are provided. The method specifically includes: 1) classifying channel strategies into an implicit strategy and a strategy based on signature; 2) specifically implementing the variable strategies: initiating, by a user, a proposal request for modifying a strategy; detecting whether a content of the strategy meets a format requirement on the condition that a target strategy is a strategy based on signature; sending a voting invitation or a signature invitation to an organization requiring auditing according to a present channel strategy or a present network strategy; voting or signing by the invited organization; analyzing a result to determine whether the result meets a requirement of the present channel strategy; if so, modifying the present channel strategy to a target channel strategy; otherwise, failing in modification.

The present invention comprises a system and method of conducting a publicly auditable election using secret ballots. The invention allows an elector to verify their ballot has been counted towards the result of an election in the manner in which it was cast. The elector is capable of cryptographically proving if their ballot has been altered or deleted. Any interested individual or entity is capable of auditing the election using an anonymized database of published ballots.

A system, method and computer program product for computer based open innovation, includes an asset valuation device receiving asset information regarding one or more tangible or non-tangible assets, and generating a valuation signal, based on the asset information; a self-executing code device receiving the valuation signal, and generating a self-executing code signal, based on the valuation signal; an air router device having both a low band radio channel, and an internet router channel for redundant internet communications, and a malicious code removal device for scrubbing malicious code from data received, receiving the valuation signal, and generating a node voting request signal, based on the valuation signal; and a mesh network having a plurality of node devices receiving the node voting request signal, and generating vote confirmation signals, based on the node voting request signal.

Provided are a method and apparatus for operating a blockchain system, a device and a storage medium. The method is described below. To-be-processed blockchain data is acquired through a kernel engine of a blockchain system. The to-be-processed blockchain data is processed through the kernel engine, and a kernel component interface provided by a component adaptor is called during the processing process of the to-be-processed blockchain data to call a kernel component.

In an embodiment, a computer implemented method for verifying and counting a vote cast by a voter is provided. The method includes recording, by a ballot machine, the vote cast by the voter via a first I/O interface for a corresponding candidate out of a plurality of candidates. An encryption of a vote tag is generated based on a preceding tag, a unique key generated in response to initializing the ballot machine and the candidate constant assigned based on the vote cast by the voter for the corresponding candidate. The encrypted vote tag is scanned to retrieve information of the vote tag from the encrypted vote tag. A confirmation including a replication of the vote recorded at the ballot machine for the corresponding candidate, in response to scanning the encrypted vote tag is provided by the verification machine. The total number of vote tags recorded are counted to tabulate results.

The disclosure relates to a distributed voting system, method, apparatus, a computer device and a readable storage medium. The distributed voting system includes: a first node configured to broadcast voting invitation information; a second node configured to generate and broadcast voting commitment information according to the voting invitation information wherein the voting commitment information includes first signature information generated by the second node according to its own secret key for the voting commitment information; and a third node configured to determine that the voting commitment information is valid according to pre-acquired public key information of the second node and the first signature information, wherein the secret key of the second node uniquely corresponds to a public key of the second node, and a voting record is generated according to the voting commitment information and the voting record is stored in a first data block of the system.

A mobile voting system and method are provided. The mobile voting system may include a mobile messaging aggregator configured to receive voter verification requests from one or more mobile carriers, and a mobile voter verification server configured to verify a voter's identity in response to a voter verification request and generate a link to a mobile ballot once the voter's identity has been verified. The mobile messaging aggregator may cause the link to the mobile ballot to be transmitted to a mobile device of the voter, which when selected by the voter, allows the voter to cast a vote.

A distributed ledger-based system, method and apparatus for administering voting contests is disclosed. Potential voters send registration requests to a distributed ledger, and each computing node of the distributed ledger, executing a smart voting contract, registers the potential voters and issues each registered voter a cryptographic voting token. Each registered voter uses the cryptographic voting token to cast an electronic ballot, the electronic ballot comprising a distributed ledger-based voting transaction request. Each voting transaction request is received by each computing node of the distributed ledger and verified, and a distributed ledger-based, verified voting transaction is created and validated along with other verified voting transactions by each of the computing nodes. When the verified voting transactions are validated, a cryptographic block is created and added to a blockchain of the distributed ledger. After a voting contest has conclude, each of the computing nodes validates a final tally of voting tokens received by each candidate in the voting contest, and a final cryptographic block is published by the distributed ledger with the results. This application is related to NFT Origin Ethereum Address 0x7beaD10F8dE9fFd99A0E897840D6105BBBC1184f.

Systems and methods for provisioning and operating a primary security device in a verifiable end-to-end election system are presented herein. The security device serves as a root of trust for chains of certificates that are deployed and utilized throughout the election process. These chains of certificates, originating with the device, which acts as an intermediate certification authority, are used to create a verifiable trust chain throughout the different parts of the election process, the trust chain being traceable back to the device and to the original root of trust certificate. In various embodiments the security device includes a compute module, a security chip, a connection to an interface device, at least one lockable transfer device port, and an air-gapped main board to house the compute module, the security chip, and the lockable transfer device port.
