    As I said in another comment, individual verifiability and non-coercion are mutually exclusive online. However, there are indeed solutions for the other properties (including globa…

    That is indeed the main issue with verifiable voting. The usual solutions offer various compromises, but it is not possible to both guarantee the ability to verify that one's ballo…

    Yes, it's possible, and it is an area of research in cryptography. For instance, have a look at Helios and Belenios.

    "Automated proof" means that the verification is automated. Actually automating the process of finding proofs is still mostly an open problem. Formal proof software will help you o…

    Right, my bad. I tend to write loops in the former style, thinking of them as reversed(range(9)). This is another advantage of this style. I should have been more cautious when wri…

    The point is that a beginner does not need to care about signedness. When you get to that point, you can take the time to explain how to loop properly over it.

    This is about weighing correction versus readability. In the "arrow operator" version, the readability is decreased; in the "proper" version, a type cast is required, and this can …

    Decrementing loops is the one place where I have indulged in some trickery. I do: for (size_t i = 9; i --> 0; ) This has the advantage to be very easy to pattern-match once known. …

    You are talking about making a combined hash function from MD5 and SHA-1. Keep in mind that it is not trivial. For instance, if you just output both SHA-1 and MD5, you are actually…

    Oh, my bad, I got confused with the brackets (which are not on a digit key). I really should have checked. See, we all make mistakes!
