ABSTRACT

• Enhance the security and integrity of electronic voting (e-voting) through innovative biometric
authentication using fingerprints.
• Dual-Database System: Utilizes two databases: one for storing eligible voters' fingerprints and the
other for reference fingerprints for comparison during voting.
• Biometric Verification: Relies on cutting-edge fingerprint recognition technology to verify voter
identities, significantly reducing the risks of fraudulent voting and impersonation.

Key Components:
• User-Friendly Interface: Provides an easy way for voters to submit their fingerprints.
• Secure Transmission: Ensures safe transfer of fingerprint data to a central server.
• Robust Matching Algorithm: Compares input fingerprints to stored reference data for authentication.

 PROBLEM DEFINITION

• The challenge lies in reconciling security and transparency in electronic voting while addressing privacy
concerns, trust deficits, cost inefficiencies, and the complexity of implementation..

E-VOTING SYSTEM 5
 EXISTING SYSTEM

• Software Design: Developed the software infrastructure for the electronic voting system, ensuring
user-friendly interfaces for voters and administrators.
• Security Measures: Implemented robust security protocols to safeguard against tampering,
unauthorized access, and ensure the integrity of the voting process.
• Specification Development: Clearly define the system's requirements and functionalities, ensuring
they align with the intended objectives and security standards.
• Verification Protocols: Utilize formal methods and verification techniques to rigorously assess the
system's design and code for correctness, consistency, and compliance with established
specifications.

E-VOTING SYSTEM 6
 EXISTING SYSTEM

• Security Audits: Conduct comprehensive security audits and checks to identify and
address vulnerabilities that could compromise the system's integrity.
• Usability Testing: Perform usability tests to ensure the system's accessibility and ease of use for
various user demographics, including voters and election administrators.
• Functional Testing: Conduct extensive testing of the system's functionalities, including voter
registration, ballot casting, encryption, and decryption procedures, to ensure they operate as
intended.

DISADVANTAGES
Complexity in
Implementation: Integrating
VVPAT with electronic voting
systems adds complexity to the
setup
Cost: Implementing VVPAT Time Consumption: The
technology incurs additional process of printing, verifying,
expenses in terms of equipment and storing paper records can
maintenance extend the time required to
conduct elections, potentially
delaying result announcements.
E-VOTING SYSTEM
Potential Technical Issues:
VVPAT systems may face
technical glitches, such as
paper jams or printing errors,
which could disrupt the voting
process and cause
inconvenience to voters.
Confusion for Voters: Voters
might face challenges in
understanding or verifying the
paper trail, potentially leading
to errors or doubts about the
accuracy of their selections.

 Encryption of Fingerprint Data:
• Utilizing a symmetric encryption algorithm secures the
fingerprint data stored in the databases.
• Symmetric encryption ensures that only authorized entities
with the corresponding decryption key can access and
interpret the stored fingerprint information.
Dual-Database System with Encrypted Fingerprint Storage:
PROPOSED • One database stores encrypted eligible voters' fingerprints.
• The other holds encrypted reference fingerprints for
SYSTEM comparison during the voting process.
Secure Transmission and Storage:
• The encrypted fingerprint data is securely transmitted to
the central server using established encryption protocols.
• Stored encrypted fingerprints ensure that even if the data
is accessed, it remains unreadable without the decryption
key.

E-VOTING SYSTEM 9
 Robust Matching Algorithm and Decryption:

• The robust matching algorithm compares encrypted

input fingerprints to stored encrypted reference data,
ensuring accuracy without compromising security.
PROPOSED
SYSTEM • Decryption using the symmetric algorithm occurs only
when a match is identified during the voting process,
ensuring real-time verification without exposing the
raw fingerprint data

E-VOTING SYSTEM 10
DESIGN
Develop a user-friendly device or mobile interface
Voter Interface: for voters.

Design a module to receive fingerprints, encrypt

Fingerprint Submission and Encryption: them using a symmetric algorithm, and transmit
securely to the central server.

Develop a server-side application to receive and

Central Server for Processing: decrypt the submitted fingerprints using the
symmetric decryption algorithm.

Set up databases to store encrypted fingerprints of

Voter and Reference Databases: eligible voters and reference fingerprints for
comparison.
E-VOTING SYSTEM 11
 ADVANTAGES
Biometric Data Protection:
Symmetric encryption adds an
extra layer of security,
safeguarding the sensitive
biometric data stored in the
databases.
Tamper Resistance:
Encrypted fingerprint data
ensures resistance against
tampering or unauthorized
access, maintaining the
integrity of voter identities.
Reduced Risk of Fraudulent Streamlined and Efficient
Activities: By utilizing Process: The user-friendly
cutting-edge fingerprint interface for fingerprint
recognition submission simplifies the
technology alongside voting process,with secure and
encryption accurate fingerprint
verification, the system
minimizes errors in voter
identification and
authentication,
E-VOTING SYSTEM
Improved Trust and
Transparency: The system's
robustness in addressing
identity verification and vote
integrity concerns fosters
increased trust in the electoral
process
Transparency: While
maintaining data security
through encryption, the system
retains transparency by
allowing verification and
validation of votes through
biometric authentication.

ALGORITHM

1. Receive and Decrypt:

• Receive the SubmittedFingerprint.
• Decrypt the SubmittedFingerprint using the symmetric decryption algorithm.
2. Search and Match:
• Compare the decrypted fingerprint with EncryptedVoterFingerprints in the voter
database.
• If a match is found:
 Retrieve the corresponding decrypted voter fingerprint.
 Compare this decrypted voter fingerprint with EncryptedReferenceFingerprints in
the reference database.

E-VOTING SYSTEM 13
ALGORITHM

3.Verification Process:
• If a match is found between the decrypted voter fingerprint and any reference
fingerprint:
 Confirm the identity of the voter.
 Register the vote securely.
• If no match is found:
 Prompt the voter to retry or indicate a verification failure.
4.Completion:
• Provide confirmation to the voter regarding successful registration or indicate the need
for further verification.
