Electronic Voting Algorithm and Its Algebraic Formation

M. Mesbahuddin Sarker, Dr. Md. Sharif Uddin

Abstract

Vote security, secrecy and confidence are necessary in any electoral process. Electronic voting is one of the most valuable exploratory areas for the pursuance of a secure e-Government transaction environment. This system is increasingly used in electoral processes ranging from specialized stand alone machines, up to complete paperless and remote voting system. Therefore this system has to follows a very complex set of security protocols. This paper analysis several algorithms to implement an electronic voting systems and discusses with a view to voter anonymity and proper protection from manipulations.

Keywords

Cryptography, Encryption-Decryption, Blind Signature, Zero Knowledge Proofs.
