Trinity, NTNU Develop Quantum-Resistant Secure E-Voting Systems
Researchers at Trinity College Dublin have developed zkBallot, an electronic voting platform that combines Zero-Knowledge Proofs and the Zcash blockchain to ensure voter anonymity while allowing public verification of election results, making the system transparent and resistant to vote tracing. The platform simulates blockchain transactions to transfer cryptographic tokens representing votes without linking them to voters' identities, suitable for closed elections such as those in universities or professional bodies. Meanwhile, scientists at the Norwegian Institute of Science and Technology (NTNU) have created a quantum-resistant electronic voting system designed to secure digital elections against future quantum computer attacks, addressing concerns that current encryption methods could be broken by these advanced technologies. This NTNU system ensures voting secrecy and reliability equivalent to traditional methods and could enable secure online elections if supported by policymakers. Additionally, Arqit Quantum Inc. has launched the SKA Edge Controller, a ruggedized, quantum-safe communications platform designed for secure command and control in defense operations, highlighting the growing importance of quantum-safe encryption across sectors. Together, these developments demonstrate significant progress toward secure, transparent, and quantum-resistant digital voting and communication systems.
