So you want a backdoor, but "only for individuals who voted to know only their vote"? That... that doesn't work.
- dboreham 6y agoDo you mean doesn't work in an algorithmic sense, or in the sense that the voter can be bludgeoned into allowing someone else to use that capability?

- meowkit 6y agoZero knowledge proofs are the solution for verifying a vote was counted correctly without revealing what the vote actually was.
- dmitriid 6y agoThis still doesn't help, does it? If I can verify that I voted, and my vote counted for something, doesn't mean that the entire vote was counted correctly, or that everyone voted as they are saying they voted, or that a "corrupt government"[1] didn't flood the vote with their own fake votes. [1] "Corrupt government officials" is the inevitable straw man in any blockchain discussions.
