Abstract

As electronic voting systems become increasingly prevalent, the urgent need for robust security measures to combat evolving cyber threats has never been more critical. This paper introduces a ground-breaking architectural framework Secure-Tech Triad that synergistically combines Blockchain technology with Machine Learning (ML) algorithms and Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities to enhance the security and efficiency of electronic voting systems. This architectural framework utilizes a modified Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Blockchain algorithm, a Random Forest ML model for real-time anomaly detection, and an MQTT protocol for IoT-based data collection to create a more secure, efficient, and responsive voting environment. Rigorous testing and evaluation show that the integrated framework significantly outperforms existing Blockchain-only solutions in key performance indicators, such as security breach detection rate, system latency, and cost efficiency. This integrated approach is the best-performing model, achieving a 97% security breach detection rate, a 30% reduction in system latency (down to 2.3 seconds), and a 25% decrease in operational costs. These results underscore the combined effectiveness of Blockchain, AI, and IoT in enhancing security, speed, and cost-effectiveness. Specifically, the Random Forest algorithm has been instrumental in achieving an exceptional security breach detection rate, while IoT data collection has played a pivotal role in enabling real-time anomaly detection and proactive threat mitigation.
