Definition

A cryptographic protocol executed by a set of se rvers, known as mix-servers, that provides anonymity for a group of senders. Their indivi dual messages can be encrypted and mixed so that after decryption it is not possible to determ ine which message emanated from a particular sender. The application to electronic voting is that ballots can be made public without compromising voter privacy.
