Abstract. In a recent Stanford Law Review article, Ayres and Bulow [1] propose a radical anonymity-based solution to disrupt the “market ” for monetary influence in political campaigns. To realize their proposal, we propose new cryptographic protocols for commital deniable proofs and deniable payment schemes. “[T]here is little reason to doubt that sometimes large contributions will work actual corruption of our political system, and no reason to question the existence of a corresponding suspicion among voters.
