BSeVS – A Smart e-Voting System based on Blockchain Technology

Security and privacy has always been a major concern for wider adoption of electronic voting systems since the election results have both major economic and political influences all around the world. The challenges of an e-voting system like anonymity, secrecy, verifiability and authenticity is yet to be fixed and can be resolved by utilizing the Blockchain technology. Blockchain technology can improve voting process security, transparency, immutability, and dependability. Blockchain is a distributed, digital, consensus-based system for securely storing information. In this paper, a Blockchain based Smart e-Voting System (BSeVS) is implemented, which is utilizing the Hash functions and Elliptic Curve Cryptography to resolve the issues of the e-voting scheme. It enhances the end to end safety of e-voting mechanism without compromising the integrity and authenticity of voting environment. The results show that the BSeVS is performing better than existing voting schemes in terms of security and time complexity.
