Title: Secure E-Voting Scheme through
Polling
Stations
Abstract: Over
the
last few years, computer networks have been widely spreading, as they
became
part of our daily lives. The rapid development of Internet
infrastructure
showed up a variety of activities that can be done over the Internet
saving
the two most important factors in life, time and money. Also, one of
today’s
most shining research areas is migrating election to the online
platform.
The term ‘Online’ now has it’s own glance, and adapting the life to the
online
way is where people are looking to go. Recent election problems such as
the
increasing number of voters, vote buying, double voting, the joke of
dead
people voting and time taken for results, have sparked a great interest
in
computerizing the election process by developing electronic voting
systems
to face these problems. In this paper, the proposed scheme uses modern
cryptographic
techniques to maintain the electronic vulnerabilities that can threaten
the
fairness of the election, and gain the trust of government, candidates,
and
citizens. In the proposed scheme, digital signature, mutual
authentication,
hashing, PKI, and blind signature are used to maintain authentication,
privacy,
accuracy, non-duplication, verifiability, vote buying/selling
prevention,
mobility, robustness, and completeness.
