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.
Keywords
