A Secure Network Monitored Balloting System

Voting is used to make cumulative outcomes to express point of views, usually discussions, debates or campaigns. Complications faced when following old systems during balloting are using unfair rules during the process, interference with campaigns, tampering with the election mechanism and data. To address and prevent these drawbacks, an online system is proposed where the voter is first authenticated via voter id details and SMS e-verification. These details are then forwarded to a wireless server through a Domain Name System Security Extensions platform which helps in securing any form of forged DNS data by using public key cryptography. JavaScript, for most client-side computations and .Net are being used to provide faster and accurate results. Each Vote is sent through SHA 256 where it is authenticated. These results are then passed on to a POA consensus block chain algorithm that enables set restrictions on a set of selected known entities to validate. The system even provides randomizing of domains and ports which adds a greater advantage to the proposed model.
