E-Voting System Using Homomorphic Encryption Technique

Abstract

The main objective of this project is to develop a safe Electronic voting System Software using Fingerprint Authentication method. i.e., e-voting system. Initially, fingerprints are collected and stored in a large database which will be created by the admins. During the elections, a valid authentication can be done through finger vein sensing. This authentication system is highly reliable and will facilitate casting of votes by the voters. In many democratic countries, elections have become a huge matter of concern. An election is seen as a system that basically creates the formal structure of a nation. It is an opportunity to elect the right leader and contribute towards the development of the nation. In addition, security and authenticity of these elections have become a major concern for the authorities. Although we use advanced electronic voting machines, the problem of rigging often arises. This e-voting software provides solution to rigging and also facilitates high authenticity and reliability. Depending on the particular implementation, e-voting may use standalone electronic voting machines (also called EVM) or computers connected to the Internet. It may encompass a range of Internet services, from basic transmission of tabulated results to full-function online voting through common connectable household devices. The data collected from the election will directly be transferred to the nearest database centers on real time basis using Zigbee systems and applications of cryptography.
