Abstract

The democratic government is a system run by the people for the people. All eligible citizens of the country are involved in choosing their candidate and government through voting. People will be motivated to vote if they believe in the correctness of the underlying system. Authentication and confidentiality are the main issues in the online voting system. Proposed authentication system allows only authentic voter to vote. Non-transferable biometric credentials are used so that fake voter can’t vote in lieu of legitimate voter. We have used two biometric factors fingerprint and photograph. XOR-based recursive visual cryptography is used for maintaining the confidentiality of voter’s database.
