Implementation of e-Voting system using new blinding signature protocol

Abstract

Electronic voting has attracted much interest recently and a variety of schemes have been proposed. Generally speaking, all these schemes can be divided into three main approaches: based on blind signature, based on mix networks and based on homomorphism encryption. Schemes based on blind signature are thought to be simple, efficient, and suitable for large scale elections. With the help of networking and internet we can easily replace the traditional election process with the electronic voting system. In the proposed cryptographic technique we are implementing new blind signature based on linear matrix function and modulation. The new scheme fully conforms to the requirement of large scale election such as privacy, fairness and security. The voter's private key for digital signature is protected by using linear square matrix based on block cipher algorithm and it can be make many combination so that only valid voter can use it. In the cryptography history, block cipher used in symmetric key algorithm, this is first time we are introducing block cipher as a public key algorithm.
