Abstract:
A system may facilitate a distributed ledger technology (DLT) record based (for example, blockchain-based) auditing. A node configured to support an auditor role may access a ballot to determine answers and one or more voter transactions to determine committed tokens conferred to the answers. The auditor may access summation information for the committed tokens to facilitate comparison to a voter token acting as a source token for the committed tokens. Without necessarily gaining knowledge of the vote-value conferred by the individual committed tokens, the auditor may compare the committed tokens as a sum to the voter token and confirm that the sum of the committed tokens is consistent with the voter token. The auditor may generate an indication of the result of the comparison.

Claim (Index 1):
A cryptographic vote auditing method including:\n providing security and accuracy of a distributed-ledger-based cryptographic ballot system by:\n accessing a ballot recorded on a distributed ledger,\n the ballot establishing an answer with a corresponding answer identifier; \n \n accessing a voter transaction recorded on the distributed ledger; \n accessing a first voter token referenced within the voter transaction,\n the first voter token transferring a voter vote-value for a committed vote-value within committed tokens assigned by the voter transaction, \n the committed tokens configured to bind voters to the committed vote-values without revealing individual ones of the committed vote-values while in a cryptographic form, where\n each of the committed vote-values includes: \n \u2003a null, or \n \u2003at least a portion of a voter vote-value; \n \n \n verifying a validity of the voter transaction by:\n determining a verification sum,\n the verification sum determined by analyzing voter summation information for each of the committed tokens, and \n the verification sum determined without dependence on knowledge of individual ones of the committed vote-values, and \n \n comparing the verification sum to the first voter token; and \n \n responsive to verifying the validity of the voter transaction, generating a validity indication.
