Abstract
With the recent explosion of new technologies in the field of Cryptography, there comes the need for increasing the Security of the present voting system of India. The use of cryptographic protocols as well as biometrics provides a technical response to the security flaws of the current voting system in India. Voting is an instrument of democracy that provides an official mechanism for people to express their views to the government. And e-Voting is considered as one of the most intensely debated subjects in Information Technology. Thus, the voting system should be much more secure and it should also have the stronger authentication mechanism so as to remove fraud and cheats completely from the voting process. This paper proposes and discusses the design of a secure e-voting system based on cryptographic protocols and biometrics that can replace the traditional voting system of India.
