Description
Summary:In recent years, traditional elections have failed to satisfy public and political authorities. Elections aren’t entirely safe because votes can be easily hacked. It also jeopardizes voter privacy and transparency. Furthermore, counting the ballots takes far too long. This paper suggests a Blockchain-based solution to address all of the problems of traditional elections. Theoretically, vote security, authentication, and data integrity are guaranteed. This research proposed a voting center that saves the votes as a blockchain block attached to a blockchain. The security is ensured by Speck cipher lightweight block cipher and bakers chaotic key generator to increase the safety of the information in each block (Vote). Authentication is also provided using a fingerprint logging system. The authentication fingerprint system was accurate and efficient. The proposed e-voting system lets voters Vote either in-office or elsewhere. Finally, the proposed Blockchain voting mechanism significantly reduced encryption time and created the blocks.
