Electronic Elections as a Phenomenon and Potential of 21st Century
Fiedler, Jan ; Stauber, Jakub (advisor) ; Brunclík, Miloš (referee)
The Master's thesis examines the phenomenon of electronic elections in the definition of an alternative method of remote voting via the Internet and combines the approach of a survey paper and a case study. The theoretical basis of the thesis is a description of the concept of e- democracy, postal voting and electronic elections, a definition of the typology of this alternative method and the accentuated risks, a summary of the general development of the debate in the Czech environment and an analysis of the process of the initial phase of implementation of electronic elections in the electoral systems of Estonia, Norway and Switzerland. The theoretical background is followed by an analytical section on these selected countries, which examines the characteristics of case-by-case approaches to the implementation and risks of e- elections and the potential impacts on selected indicators such as voter turnout and global state of democracy indices. The analysis of the aspects is conducted in a consecutive and separate categorical framework, whereby the issues are viewed from the specific perspectives of the countries in question, taking into account the differences in political systems. Final implications and conclusions are drawn in the context of a higher level of relevance based on a comparison of...

Group signature schemes
Smrž, Jan ; Dzurenda, Petr (referee) ; Malina, Lukáš (advisor)
Digital signatures are widespread in IT nowadays. In some cases there is emphasized the security of signer identity when signing an electronic message. For this type of signature group digital signatures are suitable. In this thesis basic cryptographic functions are presented which are used for group digital signatures. The principle of group signatures is explained, its advantages and nowadays use. Further are explained electronic election and it dis- and advantages. The practical part is a design and implementation of system suitable for electronic election allowing anonymity of voters using group digital signatures.

Štross, Pavel ; Bruckner, Tomáš (advisor) ; Pavlíčková, Jarmila (referee)
This thesis deals with the e-voting implementation in the Free Citizens Party. It contents research and practical part. The research deals with elections and e-voting solutions of elections, while the practical part is about the analysis and the implementation of electronic elections in the Free Citizens Party. The first objective is to provide knowledge that is necessary for the practical part of the thesis by research of these issues and already implemented solutions of electronic elections over the world. The second goal is to prepare the functional implementation of electronic elections in the Free Citizens Party. The analysis and solution proposal of the implementation are made to meet this goal. The author contribution consists in meeting goals of the thesis. During the thesis processing is done a research of elections and electronic elections. After acquiring this knowledge, the author made the analysis, solution proposal of the implementation and the implementation of electronic elections in the Free Citizens Party.

Vondráková, Kateřina ; Lechner, Tomáš (advisor) ; Pěkná, Jitka (referee)
The Master's Thesis deals with a potential impact of an introduction of the electronic voting on voter turnout of university students. First section focuses on theoretical foundation and academic debate of this subject. Additionally the current level of implementation of the electronic voting in the Czech Republic, Estonia and worldwide is explored. The hypothesis is formulated as a question whether the introduction of the electronic voting could potentially influence voter turnout of university students. The study is based on a questionnaire survey.

Model of electronic elections for the Czech Republic
Pavlík, Jan ; Doucek, Petr (advisor) ; Veber, Jaromír (referee)
This bachelor's thesis deals with electronic elections. The aim of this thesis is to create an appropriate model of elections for the Czech Republic, in which modern electronic methods of voting will be used. In the first part, there is an analysis of parts of the e-government both generally and with practical examples. The next part takes up electronic elections as a part of e-government. Embassy elections in the Czech Republic are also described. The following part of the thesis is devoted to electronic elections abroad. It summarizes experience with introducing electronic elections and technological requirements. In the last part of the thesis an appropriate model of electronic elections for the Czech Republic is built according to experience from other countries.

Electronic voting at the University of Economics, Prague and in the Czech Republic
Kaltoun, Jan ; Chlapek, Dušan (advisor) ; Nenadál, Karel (referee)
The focus of this paper is research of electronic voting topics applied to conditions of University of Economics, Prague and the Czech Republic. It therefore consists of not only theoretical research but also of applied work. First goal of this paper was to provide information base both about (especially electronic) voting and significant electronic voting projects realized throughout the world. Consequent second goal was analysis and design of electronic voting solution for chosen elections type at the University of Economics, Prague and proposal of possible process changes in chosen type of elections in the Czech republic should electronic voting be implemented. In it's first part the paper gathers, summarizes and presents information about (especially electronic) voting and chosen electronic voting implementations. The second part then describes chosen types of elections at the University of Economics, Prague and in the Czech Republic and analyzes their processes. In former case the analysis is followed by proposition and evaluation of possible electronic voting implementation variants of chosen elections type and detailed elaboration of the most suitable one. In latter case the paper goes on to describe possible process changes that could arise should electronic voting be implemented for chosen elections type in the Czech Republic. Author's contribution lies in fulfilling the goals of this thesis and performing the necessary activities leading to them. Following the (electronic) voting research the author has provides the reader with information base needed to quickly orientate tehmselves in the field of electronic voting. The author then leverages this information to research and process-analyze chosen types of elections at the University of Economics, Prague and in the Czech Republic, propose changes in mapped processes needed for eventual electronic voting implementation, present alternatives of electronic voting implementation of chosen elections type at the University of Economics, Prague and elaborate on the chosen most suitable one.
