SECURE E-VOTING USING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY

An election is an important event in all countries. Traditional voting has several drawbacks, including the expense of time and effort required for tallying and counting results, the cost of papers, arrangements, and everything else required to complete a voting process. Many countries are now considering online e-voting systems, but the traditional e- voting systems suffer a lack of trust, it is not known if a vote is counted correctly, tampered or not. A lack of transparency means that the voter has no assurance that his or her vote will be counted as they voted in elections. Electronic voting systems are increasingly using blockchain technology as an underlying storage mechanism to make the voting process more transparent and assure data immutability as blockchain technology grows in popularity. The transparent feature, on the other hand, may reveal critical information about applicants because all system users have the same entitlement to their data. Furthermore, because of blockchain's pseudo- anonymity, voters' privacy will be revealed, and third parties involved in the voting process, such as registration institutions, will be able to tamper with data. To overcome these difficulties, we apply Ethereum smart contracts to blockchain-based voting systems. Keywords— Blockchain, e-voting

An Online E-voting System based on an Adaptive Ledger with Singular Value Decomposition Technique

Regular E-voting systems for elections may count the votes in less time,less cost,save the privacy of citizens,but still considered risky as votes can be tampered.E-voting systems based on a network distributed ledger show fast results,more trusted,save privacy,cannot be tampered,and distributed in which no central organization controls the system.This paper illustrate an e-voting system to solve the challenge of a massive ledger that is distributed among network-nodes using a data reduction technique as a security-matching-tool,singular value decomposition(SVD) that handle a copy of election results in another form and matched with the SQL-database results to announce a successful election-event representing a transparency-powerful-secured-system

A Review on Distributed Blockchain Technology for E-voting Systems

Election is an important event in all countries. Conventional voting suffers many issues, such as cost of time and efforts needed for tallying and counting results, cost in papers, arrangements and all that it takes for a voting process to be achieved. Many countries such as Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Estonia, France, Germany, India, Italy, Namibia, the Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Switzerland, the UK, Venezuela and the Philippines considered online e-voting systems, but the traditional e-voting systems suffer a lack of trust, it is not known if a vote is counted correctly, tampered or not. The voter has no guarantee that his/her vote is considered as they voted in elections, it’s a lack of transparency. A solution is e-voting systems based on blockchain (sometimes referred as Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)) has now turned to be promising for what properties it offer, such as, privacy, security, transparency, accuracy, decentralization in which no central control exist, and most of all, creates an immutable system, where citizens are allowed to vote from their location by using digital devices (smart phones, computers, electronic voting machines). Also, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many technology applications are heading towards systems with all these properties, at the same time, maintaining social distancing. This review introduced many different ideas for implementing e-voting systems based on Blockchain and how the users (voters and candidates) interact with the system showing the voting process from the first step of registration to authentication till showing the final results. At the end of this review we will illustrate a table that contain all mechanisms used in the papers involved that covers the most important requirements needed for every e-voting system based on blockchain or Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).

Privacy preserving E-voting cloud system based on ID based encryption

Most of the various sectors in today’s life such as bank, transport, voting, health, electricity, etc., are currently digitalized. In our research paper, we have surveyed the voting system and explored the existing drawbacks of the voting system concerning security and malfunction. The demerits in the existing schemes include less data security, vote modification, man in the middle attack, masquerade attack, denial of service attack, impersonation attack, etc. Such attacks can compromise security and allows attackers to modify the results. To resolve the above-mentioned issues as well as the attacks, this research paper proposes a protocol to overcome security-based issues. In the proposed system, a secure online e-voting system is developed for end-to-end users to avoid misappropriation on the vote during the result publication in India or any other country. The proposed E-Voting Cloud System (ECS) system has three phases: The first phase is the registration phase, the second phase is vote polling, and the third phase is result announcements. In the proposed system, the election commission of India can search and verify the vote data through cloud computing. For a detailed description of our proposed protocol, a cube data storage structure and user differentiated system are first implemented. Based on the cube data structure and user differentiated system model, the proposed protocol helps to store voter data in the cloud with the encrypted model and ECS. Finally, the candidate can decrypt the data using their key. The people can verify the result announced by the ECS. The performance analysis clearly shows that our proposed system is highly secure when compared to the existing system. Using the proposed work, secure data transfer can be performed in an efficient way for online e-voting applications.

Empowering E-governance with E-voting

<p class="Default">Advances in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) have impacted the society in many ways. Be it education, healthcare, media or governance, the transformation is visible. As individual entities like education or healthcare systems have already implemented ICT to certain extent, e-governance is yet to make a significant progress even though several initiatives are undertaken. E-governance means activities like voting, administration, financial transaction etc., are enabled using automation systems. This paper discusses one part of the e-governance; e-voting. As e-voting empowers government, there are lot of challenges in implementing the e-voting system considering security threats and confidentiality involved in it. Online voting (e-voting) needs to be deployed as more convenient, relatively secure and less resource consuming system. E-voting system should ensure convenience for people to be able to access the system from personal or public computer with security and confidentiality. The presence of e-voting system with all the necessary security measures and convenience can be a potential solution for low voter turnout at the polls. The presented work demonstrates an online e-voting prototype system called SecureV. The proposed model achieves specific tasks namely, maintaining the anonymity of the voter, encryption of the vote, integrity check and avoids second time voting.<em></em></p>

Anonymous and formally verified dual signature based online e-voting protocol

The traditional paper-based voting is severely criticized after having found evidence of rigging in elections, leading to the uncertainty in the fairness of the election process. Traditional voting systems have severe issues in either user’s privacy or voting procedures. To counter these issues, e-voting systems have emerged as a potential solution. In this work, we proposed Internet e-voting protocol that fulfills the core properties like anonymity, verifiability, eligibility, privacy, receipt-freeness and fairness using dual signature. We prove the effectiveness and validity of our system using formal methods. A rigorous performance evaluation shows that our system clearly outperforms the existing state-of-the-art blind signature Internet e-voting protocols.

Transparent, Auditable, and Stepwise Verifiable Online E-Voting Enabling an Open and Fair Election

Many e-voting techniques have been proposed but not widely used in reality. One of the problems associated with most existing e-voting techniques is the lack of transparency, leading to a failure to deliver voter assurance. In this work, we p verifiable, viewable, and mutual restraining e-voting protocol that exploits the existing multi-party political dynamics such as in the US. The new e-voting protocol consists of three original technical contributions—universal verifiable voting vector, forward and backward mutual lock voting, and in-process check and enforcement—that, along with a public real time bulletin board, resolves the apparent conflicts in voting such as anonymity vs. accountability and privacy vs. verifiability. Especially, the trust is split equally among tallying authorities who have conflicting interests and will technically restrain each other. The voting and tallying processes are transparent/viewable to anyone, which allow any voter to visually verify that his vote is indeed counted and also allow any third party to audit the tally, thus, enabling open and fair election. Depending on the voting environment, our interactive protocol is suitable for small groups where interaction is encouraged, while the non-interactive protocol allows large groups to vote without interaction.

CONVENIENT VOTING MACHINE

An electronic voting (e-voting) system is a polling system in which the election statistics is recorded, stored and processed mainly as numerical information. There are two types of e-voting: On-Line and Offline. On-line, e.g. via Internet, and offline, by using a voting machine or an electronic voting booth. Verification of Voters, Safety of voting process, Locking voted data are the chief challenge of e-voting. This is the reason why planning a secure e-voting system is very important. In many presentations, the safety of the system depends mainly on the black box voting device. But security of data, confidentiality of the voters and the exactness of the vote are also main features that have to be taken into observation while building secure e-voting system. In this project the authenticating voters and voting data security aspects for e-voting systems was chatted. It guarantees that vote casting cannot be altered by unofficial person. The voter verification in online e-voting process can be done by official registration through supervisors and by entering one time password. In Offline e-voting process confirmation can be done using finger vein identifying which permits the electronic ballot retuned for allowing voters to cast their votes. Also the voted data and voter’s statistics can be sent to the nearby Database Supervision unit in a timely custom using GSM System based on .NET with cryptography technique.

A BIOMETRIC WITH CRYPTOGRAPHY FOR REMOTE VOTING SYSTEM

Abstract - In this modern world everything is possible and fast. In this paper we propose a multifaceted online e-voting system. The proposed system is capable to manage through internet with multiple scopes and focus on using evidence for making access control decisions in present computing environments. To protect the election accuracy, it is necessary to have an accurate electoral roll of eligible voters. The main goal of this work is it supports a remote voter registration scheme that increases the accuracy of the current systems. In this scheme the voter identification is carried out by means of combining cryptographic and biometrics techniques. This work implements the evidence-based approach on web service and it creates an ecosystem in which evidence providers can flourish.
