E-voting system using visual cryptography & secure multi-party computation

The paper aims at creation of secure voting system using visual cryptography and secure multi-party computation. Visual Cryptography is the method of encrypting the visual data for authentication of the voter. Visual cryptography scheme which is used to create 2 shares of fingerprint image. This system prevents voters for voting which try to vote using fake voter identification card (VIC). This system is developed robustly to ensure that all eligible voters having a voter identification card (VIC) is allowed to cast their respective vote. One share is stored at administrator side and one share is stored in VIC, so no one can access the full fingerprint image. For security of votes the principle of secure multi-party computation is used. Secure multi-party computation allows multiple parties to participate in a computation. Security, accuracy reliability and transparency are the major concern in these systems. The voters, who cast multiple votes during the voting process is ensured to be prevented by biometric identification of the votes could be used for casting their vote and restricting them to cast again. The process of Electronic-voting system could be deployed with four phases - the voter's enrollment, voter's authentication, vote casting and recording, and vote counting and election result publication.
