Abstract: The rapid growth of using computer networks
in the internal processes of Egyptian government, the delivery of government
products, services to citizens and industry encourages us to develop an electronic
voting system that we expect it will replace the traditional voting system
(paper and pencil) and become the first e-democracy service provided by the
Egyptian e-government. This paper is a technical proposal for the Egyptian
e-voting system, which we believe it has the opportunity of offering a robust
e-voting system for local people’s council elections, president elections,
and other democratic issues that only render a judgment by voting. Our novel
e-voting scheme covers different issues of an electronic voting system such
as ensuring the anonymous and the privacy of the voter beside the security
of the election process from malicious practices. The scheme introduces
the use of national public key system with smart card technology which allows
voters to interact with the system in mobility environment. The system does
not require any special voting channel while the communication can exist
over any public network such as the Internet.
