zk_cube_voting

A voting platform using 3 zk centric products: 1) Anon Aadhaar, 2) Semaphore Protocol and 3) Scroll.

Why voting on Anon Aadhaar is unsafe?

Let's say the app_id of an application is A, PDF hash for person P is H and the corresponding nullifier is N. Person P's hash remains the same always, so as long as the app_id is different across different applications, the nullifier's will be different.

If an attacker makes a new application with the same app_id A, the nullifier produced for P will be the same, i.e., N. If this malicious application links personally identifiable information to this transaction, person P's usage of the previous application is disclosed (e.g. what P voted for).

The solution

Using Anon Aadhaar, register on Semaphore. Semaphore Protocol allows anonymous signalling, only once per external nullifier. Thus, a user's application usage (e.g. their vote) cannot be tracked even if their nullifier is used to deanonimize them.
