A Secured Online Voting System by Using Blockchain as the Medium

<p>Accessing and Utilization of data and information from remote location is one of the major requirements of present world. Due to the increase in the requirement of the data access from remote locations, challenges in the enhancement of technology based systems also have increased proportionately. Technology based solution for accessibility of remote data with available infrastructure is the need of the hour. Implementation of technology based solutions for the challenges may be expensive due to the current technical limitations. In this paper, we have attempted to design a secured cloud based framework for Online Voting System and analyzed its performance based on the three cryptographic algorithms namely Blowfish, AES and RSA.</p>

Electronic voting (e-Voting) has totally replaced the traditional voting system. Due to the rapid growth of computer networks and cloud computing the existing e-Voting system can be replaced with online voting system.When data is on cloud,the major challenge in voting system is confidentiality, security and accuracy. The advances in cryptography can be used to a face these challenges. The presented work implements Okamoto-Uchiyama algorithm with its additive homomorphic property. This work focuses on serving voting system on large scale of voters. We have made our system more user friendly and faster but secured than existing systems.

Degrading System

Though there are online voting systems available, the authors propose a new and secure steganography based E2E (end-to-end) verifiable online voting system, to tackle the problems in voting process. This research implements a novel approach to online voting by combining visual cryptography with image steganography to enhance system security without degrading system usability and performance. The voting system will also include password hashed-based scheme and threshold decryption scheme. The software is developed on web-based Java EE with the integration of MySQL database server and Glassfish as its application server. The authors assume that the election server used and the election authorities are trustworthy. A questionnaire survey of 30 representative participants was done to collect data to measure the user acceptance of the software developed through usability testing and user acceptance testing.
