E-Voting System Using Homomorphic Encryption

Abstract

Abstract: A protected e-voting system using Blockchain technology is proposed in this paper. It is using homomorphic encryption casting a vote electronically. It is represented that in spite of the fact that blend-based casting a ballot is an extremely straightforward answer for special e-casting a ballot it is helpless against an intimidation threat from politically contesting individuals. The intimidation assault particularly goes after special e-casting a ballot plot just results the political decision result and uncovers no vote, so is safe to the assault. Homomorphic encryption calculation is taken advantage of not just to count the votes without uncovering them yet in addition to change the votes when another round of counting is required. Additionally, it accomplishes all the security properties normally wanted in e-casting a ballot. Since Blockchain technology is used to store the votes any sign of tampering will be easily detected with the discrepancy of the time signatures and the hash values. The proposed will enable the citizen or a voter entity to vote from the confines of their home thereby negating their travel expenses which would otherwise be too extreme if the voter entity resided in a place where there is no adequate infrastructure to support traditional voting schemes. The voter entity can first verify their identity and receive an OTP which then enable them to cast a vote online in a dedicated web application.
