Abstract

Previous anonymous channels, called MIX nets, do not work if one center stops. This paper shows new anonymous channels which allow less than a half of faulty centers. A fault tolerant multivalued election scheme is obtained automatically. A very efficient ZKIP for the centers is also presented.
