# Hääl
# Anonymous Electronic Voting System on Public Blockchains

Hääl means voice in Estonian. Voice means power of people.

This code is a proof-of-concept of the protocol presented on the whitepaper located at the root folder.
It describes a full process for an e-voting system, using public blockchains and without a mixnet or an oracle for tallying the votes.

The full protocol makes use of:
- Zero-knowledge proofs (with zk-snarks verified on-chain)
- Homomorphic encryption (Paillier protocol + zk)
- Stealth addresses (as proposed by Peter Todd, but ported to ethereum)
- Encrypted notes (e.g Zcash, AZTEC)
- Cryptography challenges (based on Sigma protocol)
- Digital signatures
- Ethereum (or another blockchain capable of running dApps)
- other technologies described on the whitepaper

Working in progress. No access control layers implemented in this PoC to avoid overhead, implement it as your needs.
All contributions are welcome.

# Installation
## Pre-requisites
- ganache-cli ^6.3.0 or Ganache ^1.2.2
- Node 8
- Solidity ^0.4.5
- Yarn ^1.13.0

## Setup
```
# yarn install && yarn truffle build && yarn ganache-cli
```

## Run
```
(on a new terminal)
# yarn truffle test
```

## Manual installation (for debugging purposes)

Install and set the correct version of NodeJS.
```
$ apt-get install node npm
$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.32.1/install.sh | bash
$ nvm install 8
$ nvm use 8
```
Download third-party dependencies.
```
$ curl -o /usr/bin/solc -fL https://github.com/ethereum/solidity/releases/download/v0.4.25/solc-static-linux
$ chmod u+x /usr/bin/solc

Get https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache/releases/download/v1.2.2/ganache-1.2.2-x86_64.AppImage
$ chmod +x ganache-1.2.2-x86_64.AppImage
```
Run
```
$ npm install -Wno-cast-function-type 2> debug.log
$ node ./node_modules/truffle/build/cli.bundled.js build
$ ./ganache-1.2.2-x86_64.AppImage (on a new terminal)
$ node ./node_modules/truffle/build/cli.bundled.js test
```

## Compiler warnings

Is expected to receive the warning below during contracts compilation:
```
haal/contracts/HAAL/haal.sol:2:1: Warning: Experimental features are turned on. Do not use experimental features on live deployments.
pragma experimental ABIEncoderV2;
^-------------------------------^
```

That message appears because we're using an experimental method to fill arrays (`bytes[]`):
```
function addVote(
bytes[] _president,
bytes[] _senator,
bytes[] _stateGovernor,
^-----^
[...]

function getVotes(uint _index) view public returns(bytes[], bytes[], bytes[])
^-----------------------^
```
