Secure Online Voting using Steganography and Biometricsz

Abstract

The fundamental knowledge beyond electronic voting system is to confirm integrity and reliability of specific mechanisms for addressing issues of security, privacy and accountability, which results due to the rapid development of information technology field over time and the traditional election procedures, which cannot satisfy all of voter’s demands. The primary goal of every voting system is to increase the participation of voters in addition to online voting are simple, attractive and easy to use. It reduces manual efforts and bulk of information can be handled easily. Furthermore, the development of technology needs to increase the reliability so that only the authorized persons are allowed to cast their votes and ensure that the voting results will not change. The necessity to find a technique ensures the safety of election led to presents a novel approach to provide secure mobile voting based on Biometrics in conjunction with elliptic curve cryptography and steganography.
