Abstract
Voter authentication in general election is a very expensive and time-consuming issue. At present, identifying the voter is done through their voter ID cards in the presence of local people and this process leads to malpractice and rigging. Some security algorithms are available in similar areas where identification is required. However, they are found to be failed in many situations. When compared to the existing system, proposed system will give better results by reducing security issues. This introduces concept of voter authentication using modified elliptic curve cryptography where the voter can be authentication over Internet by using public communication channel. Then he can cast his vote through Internet. Elliptic curve cryptography is a public key cryptographic algorithm where it uses couple of keys as private and public. Private key is used by the voter and public key is used to authenticate the voter. The private key in ECC is chosen by using cuckoo search optimization technique instead of randomly choosing the values. The proposed methodology is enhanced using live sample database and is found to be secured by all means.
