An Anonymous Voting System (AVS)

The paper we present is an e-voting system that uses the Homomorphic encryption to ensure anonymity, privacy, and security in the voting. It is able to perform calculations on the encrypted data itself and also encrypting the output of the operation automatically. For this reason, it is being used in applications that include secure multi-party computation, encryption of data, electronic voting, etc. Homomorphic encryption comes under privacy homomorphism. In this paper, we implement the homomorphic encryption mechanism to design an electronic voting system that has the feature or ability to keep separated the privileges among voters, candidates, and announcers. The experimental results show the application ensures anonymity in voting and also prevents cheating during the counting process, this also reduces the overhead of continuous encryption and decryption of the data which is present in the current encryption scenario thereby reducing the time-complexity of the algorithm. The application will use Two-Factor Authentication for validating the authenticity of the users, the application developed can be migrated easily between different DBMS and the application developed will be responsive and will offer rich User Experience while accessing the application on mobile and tablet devices.
