Secure authentication for online voting system

Abstract

The secure online voting system is the need of today's era. We propose a new secure authentication for online voting system by using biometric feature and steganography. Voter is asked to enter a password at the time of registration. Password is converted into secret message using timestamp and hashing. This secret message is stored in image using steganography. In this model, a person can also vote from outside of his/her allocated electorate or from his/her chosen location.
