Abstract
Secure E-Voting System is a python-based project. It is an efficient and financially savvy way of leading a democratic method, which has the characteristics of being large-scale data and real- time, as well as requiring a high level of security. Nonetheless, they are concerns about the security of systems administration and protection of correspondence for e-casting a ballot have been developed. Here, the client establishes a connection with the server, this implies that the TCP protocol is being used. For each new arriving Client, the Server should create a new thread to accomplish this feature we took care of concurrent thread, that is, when the number of connections is made with the server, that time each thread doesn’t interfere with one another. Therefore, we synchronized the threads. Securing e-casting a ballot is very urgent and has turned into a famous theme in correspondences and systems administration. This system puts a lot of trust in the central authority. It manages th...

E-Voting Security Protocol Analysis & Solution
This paper describes an on-line e-voting system security implementation to reduce attacks. E-voting is gaining popularity in applications that require high security. Evoting is the electronically voting process via Internet. The system represents security analysis against largescale attacks performed by rationally thinking attackers. Electronic Voting promises a lot of advantages: It is not only fast and very convenient to use, but it also features additional security properties that cannot be achieved with traditional voting, such as individual or universal verifiability. However, due to the sensitive and critical nature of voting protocols, it is crucial to formally guarantee their correctness with respect to certain intended security properties. We develop a model for describing the real life environment where voting takes place and analyze the behavior of rational adversaries. This paper tries to reduce these large-scale attacks that will help student as well as researchers to realize the evoting and its security system.
E-Voting For Large Scale Elections Using Simple Network Management Protocol
International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2017
Democratic process world-over is a very important referendum, which elects or removes governments. Elections are held in countries where large number of voters vote to elect their favourite candidate. This paper proposes an E-Voting through Internet, which uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for large-scale elections to be held on decentralised servers. The proposal of using Simple Network Management Protocol is a unique one because SNMP based NMS (Network Management System) could be implemented during voting, which manages, monitors and get the accurate data of voters ballots from the decentralised servers in regular intervals for compilation of data at a centralised server that can be much accurate, authenticated, authorized and coercion free. SNMP operating server can be easily managed as wecan compile data for the number of voters from a particular region or state who had voted on the voting day, and the results or data cannot be tampered with. Devices being used in casting ballots on election day can also be managed well. Numerous advantages could be achieved if SNMP implemented systems are being implemented by the election commission in the online e-voting system. Main objective of this paper is to propose a solution to monitor and manage the large-scale elections with secrecy,and curtail coercion, which is necessary to get hundred-percent accurate results for effective democracy.
A secure and available electronic voting service for a large-scale distributed system
Future Generation Computer Systems, 2003
We present a secure and available electronic voting service suitable for a large-scale distributed system such as the Internet. The proposed service is based on replication and tolerates both benign and fully arbitrary failures. If enough servers are correct, service availability and security are ensured despite the presence of faulty servers and malicious voters. A voter that is affected by a crash failure can vote after recovery. The proposed service satisfies common voting requirements including voter eligibility and privacy, and tally accuracy. In addition, the service satisfies a further important requirement, namely tally verifiability without any intervention of voters. Anyone, including an external observer, can easily be convinced that the voting outcome is fairly computed from the ballots that were correctly cast. It follows that the proposed voting scheme strengthens the security properties of the electronic voting procedure, and simplifies the interaction of voters with the electronic voting system.
SEAS, a secure e-voting protocol: Design and implementation
Computers & Security, 2005
In this paper we propose SEAS, the Secure E-voting Applet System, a portable, mobile, flexible, light system for polling over computer networks. The protocol is based on Sensus, . Though maintaining its lightness (basically there are two only servers involved in the whole voting process), SEAS avoids the well-known weakness that allows one of the entities involved in the election process to cast its own votes replacing other votes. We propose an implementation of SEAS based on Java applets and XML technology.
SELES: an e-voting system for medium scale online election
2005
Recent advances in communication networks and cryptographic techniques have made possible to consider online voting systems as a feasible alternative to conventional elections. Until today several protocols for electronic voting have been proposed, unfortunately only a few of them have been implemented in an end-to-end fully functional system. In this paper we present a secure electronic voting system for medium scale on-line elections (SELES). Our system efficiently implements a security communication protocol offering protection against double voting and others frauds while avoiding any private voting channel. SELES accomplishes all the standard properties of conventional voting systems, namely, accuracy, democracy, privacy, verifiability, simplicity, flexibility and double voting detection. Our system has been tested in a distributed and heterogeneous Internet network comprised by workstations, laptops and PDA nodes interacting through wired and wireless connections. Additionally, SELES has been designed to deal with communication failures, thus achieving a certain degree of robustness.
An Improved Dynavote E-Voting Protocol Implementation
International Journal of E Adoption, 2011
Electronic voting-the use of computers or computerized voting equipment to cast and tabulate and tally ballots in an election in a trustable manner-is a pillar of e-Government. The DynaVote voting protocol system proposed by Cetinkaya and Koc (2007) is assumed secure and practicable on a network. However, the DynaVote e-Voting protocol does not completely protect the voting counter against impersonated votes, especially when the pseudo-Vote identities are known by the wrong voter or compromised by authorities. To address this problem, a prototype called improved DynaVote e-Vote protocol was designed to protect the counter from anomalies associated with counting impersonated votes (multiple votes) in the same election. This was achieved by introducing biometric fingerprint and pseudo voter identities (PVID) encryption for each voter during voter registration via online or data mining of population data containing fingerprint biometrics. Furthermore, fingerprint reader and RSA public key cryptography is used in PVID to eliminate counting impersonated votes. The performance results showed that improved DynaVote e-Vote protocol is more reliable, eligible, and accurate, and protects voter privacy against other e-Vote protocols.

Secure Online E-voting Protocol Based on Voters Authentication
Regular Issue, 2019
Although there are many e-voting systems present by analysis it is found that they all are vulnerable to privacy risk and weakness of unreliable protocols and denial of service attacks. Here is the need to implement the public key encryption e-voting system. The primary objective of this system is to make ensure reliability, privacy and security of the protocol and voting is convenience to users. As a result of the specification requirements, the system was summarized into three parts: access control process which limit access to a system or to any other resource. Secondly, voting process was done by encrypting voter's electronic ballot before submitting to the server. Finally, the final result was sorted through deciphering the received encrypted information. The System is more efficient than other E-Voting systems, since voters can vote from their devices without extra cost and effort, and encryption ensures the security. A pseudo random number is generated using the OTP principle, is used by the voter for authentication purpose while casting the vote. These techniques provide a secure platform, thus exceeding vulnerabilities of the traditional voting system.
SECURE ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM
Secure Online Voting System is an interactive voting system application with which users can vote from any location remotely using their information stored prior in database securely. Online voting system involves transmission of ballots and votes via network. Security is maintained at different levels like while voting and at the time of transmission of ballots also. The main objective of this work is to develop an interactive voting system application with which users can participate using their information stored prior in database while creating the voter ID and the information need to be updated at an period of less than six months for perfect user verification by the Independent Electoral Commission of India (IECI). In this system people who have citizenship of India and whose age is above 18 years and of any sex can give their vote through online without going to any physical polling station.

An Improved Internet Voting Protocol
eprint.iacr.org
Norway is going to experience an Internet voting scheme in September 2011 for local governmental elections, targeting a comprehensive Internet voting system in 2017 for national election. This protocol is strong from several aspects. First of all, it resists against malicious voter's computers. Namely, an honest voter will be aware of a malicious behavior caused by the computer during the entire voting procedure. However, the security of the protocol depends on the assumption that the players (organizations) are completely independent and reliable, and the receipt codes are sent to the voters securely. In this work, we take a closer look at the Internet voting protocol and investigate the followings:
REVS - A ROBUST ELECTRONIC VOTING SYSTEM
2003
There are many protocols proposed for electronic voting, but only a few of them have prototypes implemented. Usually the prototypes are focused in the characteristics of the protocol and do not handle properly some real world issues, such as fault tolerance. This paper presents REVS, a robust electronic voting system designed for distributed and faulty environments, namely the Internet. The goal of REVS is to be an electronic voting system that accomplishes the desired characteristics of traditional voting systems, such as accuracy, democracy, privacy and verifiability. In addition, REVS deals with failures in real world scenarios, such as machine or communication failures, witch can lead to protocol interruptions. REVS robustness has consequences at three levels: (i) the voting process can be interrupted and recovered without weakening the voting protocol; (ii) it allows a certain degree of failures, with server replication; and (iii) none of the servers conducting the election, by its own or to a certain level of collusion, can corrupt the election outcome.
An Intrusion-tolerant e-Voting Client System
2007
The ambition of any e-voting system is to reproduce, in an electronic environment, the characteristics of physical voting systems, such as accuracy, democracy, privacy and veri ability. REVS is an Internet e-voting system based on blind signatures and designed to be robust in distributed and faulty environments. However, the execution of REVS client system, used by voters, can be tampered by intruders willing to compromise the accuracy of submitted votes or the privacy of voters. In this document we present a new, intrusion tolerant e-voting client architecture for REVS. This architecture is based on public key cryptography, smart cards and FINREAD terminal readers.
Highly Secured Online Voting System (OVS) Over Network 1
Internet voting systems have gained popularity and have been used for government elections and referendums in the United Kingdom, Estonia and Switzerland as well as municipal elections in Canada and party primary elections in the United States. Voting system can involve transmission of ballots and votes via private computer networks or the Internet. Electronic voting technology can speed the counting of ballots and can provide improved accessibility for disabled voters. The aim of this paper is to people who have citizenship of India and whose age is above 18 years and of any sex can give their vote through online without going to any physical polling station. Election Commission Officer (Election Commission Officer who will verify whether registered user and candidates are authentic or not) to participate in online voting. This online voting system is highly secured, and its design is very simple, ease of use and also reliable. The proposed software is developed and tested to work on Ethernet and allows online voting. It also creates and manages voting and an election detail as all the users must login by user name and password and click on his favorable candidates to register vote. This will increase the voting percentage in India. By applying high security it will reduce false votes.
An Efficient Implementation of Electronic Election System
2013
– Voting is usually recognized as one of the main characteristics of Democracy. Electronic election is a very recent idea regarding voting. Voter, once given his vote, has to rely upon the election system’s honesty and security. Free and fairness of an election is desired by almost everyone associated with it. Hence designing an election system needs special care. Furthermore, an electronic election should be more secure, transparent and trustworthy, as common people have less faith in computers due to system crashes and hacking threats. In this paper, we are going to describe our implementation of an efficient and secured electronic voting system based on the Fujioka- Okamoto-Ohta protocol which is the most practical and suitable protocol for large scale elections. Our implementation contains the automation of an online voting system providing some features which were absent in the previous implementations. We have made our system even more user friendly and secured but faster than...
Development of a General-Purpose E-Voting Server
Voting is a general and indispensable method, and widely used to express a choice or preference, to elect a person, or to choose an opinion by ballot in education, enterprise, medicine, and government. Until now, various E-voting schemes are proposed in the world but they are different from each other. There is no system that can provide users with E-voting services anytime and anywhere such that one can use E-voting servers without even thinking about them. Therefore, an E-voting system for general-purpose is demanded. To support any kinds of vote, we divide voting system into components, and make different assembly of those components for different kinds of voting.
Centralized and Secured Electronic Voting System
IAEME PUBLICATION, 2015
Elections are the routine part of our political system. Here we thought about the current voting system, where a person needs to go to their own constituency to vote for the particular participant, which is used in whole world. This project is being designed to reduce rigging in the voting system as well as maxim voting in each and every election could be registered. Today, we are in digital world of integrated systems in terms of hardware, memories and database utilization. We already are working on and unique Identification system in the country or may be in the world. So, we thought that the current voting system should be updated to centralized voting system where a person could vote from any place. Also we can reduce the rigging by biometric authentication and centralization of voting system. For centralization of voting system we need to manage the database system that can be managed through oracle or sql server. Voting machine will be directly connected to a computer system which will have a GUI. This GUI will contain the details of that particular voter as he / she will process for vote. But it will not show that the candidate has voted for which candidate because it will be confidential. That particular vote will directly be updated to the excel sheet on that computer which will be shared in centralized server.
Remote Internet voting: developing a secure and efficient frontend
CSI Transactions on ICT, 2013
Electronic voting is an essential component of the e-governance of a country for establishing the people's choice in selecting the political leadership. Poll station voting is generally considered to be the most successful form of the election process. Both traditional and electronic versions of the poll station voting had many implementations in general elections, worldwide. The remote poll station voting scheme allows voters to participate in the election process if they have an access to any one of the poll station, no matter where they are at the time of voting. However, this scheme suffers from declining participation due to the inconvenience to the voters in reaching the poll stations. Also, this scheme needs a secure, private network for connecting the poll stations, making it very expensive. The remote Internet voting is very user convenient, which allows voting from any Internet connected computer, from anywhere. However, security, reliability and complexity issues have restricted the wider adoption of this scheme in large-scale elections. This paper proposes a secure and efficient frontend voting protocol using a trusted platform module for remote Internet voting with trusted third party authentication protocol.
A Secure and Efficient Scheme for Remote Poll Station Voting
International Journal of Electronic Government Research, 2000
Electronic voting has found wider acceptance both in developed and developing countries in the recent past. The current research focuses mainly in the area of privacy and security aspects of e-voting. In spite of the good security and privacy features, the existing e-voting protocols remain useful only to small elections or just to support the conventional voting, mainly because of their high computational overhead. Naturally, e-voting is not in wide use, even in the developed countries. Thus, there is a need for e-voting protocols which are secure and practical, but with less complexity. This paper proposes an efficient protocol and framework for the practical implementation of the electronic election process. An analysis on the largest election process in the world shows that the proposed protocol has the potential to serve as an efficient polling system with increased voter turnout. This protocol can be adopted easily in the developed world too.
