A Study on Electronic Voting System Using Private Blockchain

초록

The development of digital technology has changed the lives of many people in terms of the velocity and convenience of completing tasks. This technology has also been applied to the process of voting, yet electronic voting is seldom used. The existing electronic voting scheme operates by applying various encryption algorithms. This type of electronic voting can be problematic since the administrator is given full authority. The administrator cannot always be trusted, and the contents of the ballot could be forged or tampered by a single point of failure. To resolve these problems, researchers continue to apply blockchain technology to electronic voting. Blockchain technology provides reliability and data integrity because all untrusted network participants have the same data. In this paper, we propose an electronic voting system that secures reliability by applying blockchain technology to electronic voting and ensures secret voting.
