GPGVote is a web-based e-voting system, based on PGP encryption.

Detailed Description:

GPGVote is a web-based electronic voting system developed in Django. It is meant to be used by communities or organizations as a method for decision making, opinion gathering and assigning roles. The security requirements of GPGVote are met with the use of strong encryption models provided by the GnuPG encryption software and users of the system are registered and authenticated by their PGP keys. Several operations are provided to the users of GPGVote to create polls, participate in polls they have the right to vote for and verify the outcome of each poll they participate, as well as the inclusion of their own vote in the final results.

The project was started by Petros Moisiadis as his thesis for a bachelor degree in Information Technology from Digital Systems department of University of Pireaus. This thesis (currently available only in greek language) contains more information about the project and may be downloaded from here: https://github.com/Ernest0x/gpgvote/raw/master/docs/thesis.pdf
