Three of these modules, common, client, and node, provide the core functionality of Ximix. The other three, demo, console, and test, provide some demo clients, additional test code, and a console client which can be used with a Ximix network. text/html 2019-05-26T19:35:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cryptoworkshop.com/ximix/doku.php?id=api_javadoc&rev=1558899300&do=diff text/html 2019-05-26T19:35:10+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cryptoworkshop.com/ximix/doku.php?id=building&rev=1558899310&do=diff It's possible to build the project from its component modules in either an IDE or from the command line.

The sytem makes use of threshold decryption and non-interactive zero knowledge proofs to provide an audit trail allowing easy verifiability by third parties. In order to preserve privacy MixNet nodes verify transcripts of the mixing prior to making any threshold decryptions available for recovering the original EC plaintext. text/html 2014-09-16T07:07:32+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cryptoworkshop.com/ximix/doku.php?id=verification_step&rev=1410851252&do=diff The verification process for an RPC style mix requires 5 things to be checked. An extra step is required in the case of Ximix to accomodate the mapping of EC points to actual candidate numbers that are represented in the CSV files representing the ballot. This extra step may appear to be more complicated than it needs to be as Ximix is designed to accomodate packed ballots, which allow several preferences to be represented by one EC point, as well as a simple bijection from points to candidate n… text/html 2019-05-26T19:31:46+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cryptoworkshop.com/ximix/doku.php?id=ximixconsoleinstallers&rev=1558899106&do=diff Jar Base Console Installers This section will describe the steps required to create a Jar based installer for the ximix console.
