    There doesn't have to be one centralized bulletin board. The key property Ben is trying to get at with the bulletin board analogy is that voters can go and check that their encrypted ballot appears in some publicly accessible repository, which may be distributed.

    If the vote does not appear, then the voter will have a receipt that they can turn over to an investigative agency.

    Denial of service, like in the example you give, is always a risk, but can be detected and prevented.

    I don't it would matter at that point. If all parties are colluding, you have much bigger problems than whether your vote is accurate and/or private.

    What makes you think that? Paper ballots with open access to voting area, chain of custody and counting are transparent simple and secure. Numbered voting receipts that show running total counts rather than an individuals vote are simple, transparent and and secure since they allow two individuals to come together to make sure their counts jibe. Random seizure and testing of machines on voting day is simple, transparent and secure way to detect fraud. There are more.

    This is an amazing talk, I'm a high school graduate, in my first year at college and I understood it very well. I'm a bit strange though, and have been interested in cryptography for a long time and have heard of a lot of the things he talks about.
