Secure Electronic Voting System
Dr. Madhu Bhan, Shubam Koundel
Abstract
India conducts both state and federal elections using paperless electronic voting machines. Indian authorities have never allowed a meaningful, independent investigation of the security of the devices despite mounting fears of fraud. Blockchain is a technology that has gained a lot of attention recently because it uses an immutable distributed ledger to offer security and anonymity. In applications where trust is of the utmost significance, Blockchain is extensively used because of its reliable consensus mechanism and tamper-proof data storage. By combining all of the individually encrypted votes into one encrypted tally using the homomorphic property, you may obtain the separated-out tallies without compromising the privacy of individual votes. Homomorphic encryption methods are employed to work on the encrypted data without the knowledge of private key. If database data is lost, it may still be possible to recover it from the blockchain cloud. Data that has been encrypted can be operated on without having to first decrypt it. Data may be transferred and stored securely in cloud systems using Blockchain and Homomorphic mechanisms. In this paper we have expla ined the design, implementation and working of a dependable and trustworthy electronic voting application.
