Electronic signature

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_signature An electronic signature , or e-signature, is any electronic means that indicates either that a person adopts the contents of an electronic message , or more broadly that the person who claims to have written a message is the one who wrote it (and that the message received is the one that was sent). By comparison, a signature is a stylized script associated with a person.

Electoral fraud is illegal interference with the process of an election .

Electoral fraud

End-to-end auditable or end-to-end voter verifiable ( E2E ) systems are voting systems with stringent integrity properties and strong tamper-resistance. E2E systems often employ cryptographic methods to craft receipts that allow voters to verify that their votes were not modified, without revealing which candidates were voted for. As such, these systems are sometimes referred to as receipt-based systems.
