Özet:
Security and transparency issues in the paper-based voting system and technological advances popularized e-voting systems. Many academic research and industrial solutions have recently been proposed, designed, and implemented with a Homomorphic Cryptography Scheme or HTTPS. However, there is a new popular player in the game which is called blockchain technology. This study analyzes the requirements of a welldesigned e-voting system and the technology behind the blockchain, and proposes an e-voting system with a novel consensus algorithm. Different strategies are designed and implemented to satisfy all requirements. First, RSA and Paillier Homomorphic Cryptosystem are applied to meet requirements such as individual verifiability, secrecy, etc. So that no one can modify the vote; however, any voter can verify his/her vote during the whole vote period. Second, different blockchains are used to meet requirements such as eligibility, privacy, authentication, etc. So that the system detects whether the data is coming from an eligible or a non-eligible voter. The system ensures that votes and voters can not be correlated if it is an eligible voter. So, the privacy of eligible voters is always protected. Third, our blockchains ensure Consensus throughout the voting process. Fully replicated, distributed, transparent, and secure blockchains ensure that everything is under control. Fourth, internal control mechanisms are applied to meet requirements such as nonreusability, coercion-resistance, etc. So that eligible voters can cast just one vote within the specified period. The system keeps every sensitive data encrypted so that no one manipulates the results before the vote ends.
