“…This obviously has sustained research to address major security problems in electronic voting [4]. A secure Electronic Voting System holds the promise of reducing electoral violence and instilling confidence in the fairness of elections among politicians, supporters, and the general public [5]. A similar stance has been taken by Balzarotti et al [6] underscoring one of the importance and features of electronic voting to include the capability of hiding voters' identity or render them anonymous when casting votes to boost security.…”

“…Nonetheless, interest remains, and efforts are now focused on developing a trustworthy and secure system that can gain the confidence of users. To this end, numerous authors have proposed various means of enhancing security in Electronic Voting systems For instance, Kumar et al [5] proposed an electronic voting system based on Blockchain technology which stores voter details and votes in two separate blockchain networks and uses a unique Personal Identification Number (PIN) for voter access. However, relying solely on a PIN for voter identification may leave the system vulnerable to impersonation.…”

“…The work in [19,20] relates authentication to Kerberos; authentication has been described as a method of identifying an identity to the needed level of confidence, and Kerberos deals with verification functions that have been designed to facilitate application level authentication. Similarly, some other researchers have explored cryptography-based approaches using algorithms like Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA), Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA), and others to secure Electronic Voting systems [5,16,17,18]. However, the reliability of cryptographic keys and their potential for discovery and misuse require careful consideration.…”

The rapid advancements in technology have spurred interest in electronic voting systems as a means to modernize and enhance the democratic electoral process. However, ensuring the security and integrity of electronic voting systems remains a critical challenge. In this study, we present a highly secure and efficient model for an electronic voting system, featuring a robust three-layer security architecture that includes the device authentication, user authentication and network security. The proposed system incorporates Kerberos authentication and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to fortify device and user authentication. The segmentation of the system network into zones that includes the Virtual Private Network, the Public Network and the Demilitarized Zone also helps to mitigate potential cyber-attacks and fraudulent activities. Leveraging biometric security (fingerprint) and user tokens (voter's cards), the system ensures the accurate identification and authentication of voters, thereby enhancing the overall integrity of the voting process. Through a series of tests involving 500 enrolled users, the proposed electronic voting system demonstrated remarkable efficacy, achieving a 100 percent accuracy rate in ballot tallying. Having addressed key concerns related to security and transparency, the proposed voting system has the potential to instil trust and confidence in electoral processes.

“…The numerous traditional offline services like amount transaction, voting, communication and mailing are modifying to online due to fast progress of network and networking tools [6]. The online voting is utilized the electronic tools for polling and totalling the votes for e-voting [23]. The voters can select any candidate from anywhere by casting their votes through any electronic medium and the election commission is liable to gather these votes [8,24].…”

The voting is always a crucial topic of public attention for democratic reasons. Due to its simplicity, ease of use, and low cost, e-voting is frequently used for such decision outcomes. The tremendous authority and intervening data in current e-voting systems, however, make them risky and make it difficult to achieve correct equity and clarity in e-voting. By combining e-voting with blockchain technology, these issues are resolved while providing reorganisation and intervention-resistant characteristics. A voter's improper manipulation, such as absenteeism, frequent voting, or non-party voting, may also undermine fairness. A verifier is therefore required to check the e-voting mechanism in order to ensure its effectiveness and control the process equality and fairness. In this paper, a Blockchain based e-Voting Mechanism (BVM) is developed for providing the end to end security and fairness for the transparent voting. This mechanism also provides a Zero-knowledge Proof (ZP) based verifier to inspect the voting procedure against voter`s misoperations and uses a Master-key Administration (MA) based public key cryptography to attack prevention. The utilization of blockchain technology ensures transparency, tamper resistance, and a high level of data integrity, making it a promising choice for modernizing and enhancing the electoral process. Also the performance of BVM has been compared and analysed based on time complexity, security analysis, performance factors like delay and throughput and antiattack examination.
