摘要：
电子投票系统面临着日益增长的网络攻击和数据泄露风险，随着量子计算的到来，这些风险预计还会加剧。为应对这些挑战，我们提出一种量子安全投票框架，该框架集成了 Quantum Key Distribution（QKD，量子密钥分发）、双密钥对称加密和可验证收据机制，以增强投票过程的隐私性、完整性和可靠性。该框架使选民能够安全地建立加密密钥、投出加密选票，并通过基于收据的确认来验证其投票，而全程不会暴露投票内容。为评估性能，我们使用 Message Queuing Telemetry Transport（MQTT，消息队列遥测传输）协议模拟了量子和经典通信信道。结果表明，该系统能够以低延迟和极低错误率高效处理大量投票。该方法为量子时代安全、透明且可验证的电子投票提供了一条可扩展且实用的路径。
英文摘要：
Electronic voting systems face growing risks from cyberattacks and data breaches, which are expected to intensify with the advent of quantum computing. To address these challenges, we introduce a quantum-secure voting framework that integrates Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), Dual-Key Symmetric Encryption, and verifiable receipt mechanisms to strengthen the privacy, integrity, and reliability of the voting process. The framework enables voters to establish encryption keys securely, cast encrypted ballots, and verify their votes through receipt-based confirmation, all without exposing the vote contents. To evaluate performance, we simulate both quantum and classical communication channels using the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. Results demonstrate that the system can process large numbers of votes efficiently with low latency and minimal error rates. This approach offers a scalable and practical path toward secure, transparent, and verifiable electronic voting in the quantum era.
