Abstract

Most of the various sectors in today’s life such as bank, transport, voting, health, electricity, etc., are currently digitalized. In our research paper, we have surveyed the voting system and explored the existing drawbacks of the voting system concerning security and malfunction. The demerits in the existing schemes include less data security, vote modification, man in the middle attack, masquerade attack, denial of service attack, impersonation attack, etc. Such attacks can compromise security and allows attackers to modify the results. To resolve the above-mentioned issues as well as the attacks, this research paper proposes a protocol to overcome security-based issues. In the proposed system, a secure online e-voting system is developed for end-to-end users to avoid misappropriation on the vote during the result publication in India or any other country. The proposed E-Voting Cloud System (ECS) system has three phases: The first phase is the registration phase, the second phase is vote polling, and the third phase is result announcements. In the proposed system, the election commission of India can search and verify the vote data through cloud computing. For a detailed description of our proposed protocol, a cube data storage structure and user differentiated system are first implemented. Based on the cube data structure and user differentiated system model, the proposed protocol helps to store voter data in the cloud with the encrypted model and ECS. Finally, the candidate can decrypt the data using their key. The people can verify the result announced by the ECS. The performance analysis clearly shows that our proposed system is highly secure when compared to the existing system. Using the proposed work, secure data transfer can be performed in an efficient way for online e-voting applications.
