Secure Online Voting Using Biometric Authentication and Public Key Encryption

by Ajish S, K S Anil Kumar

Overview

This book discusses a secure internet voting protocol that addresses the vulnerabilities of internet voting systems to malware attacks. The proposed protocol utilizes a combination of QR codes, OTPs, and biometric authentication to ensure the integrity of the voting process. Biometric authentication is implemented through the use of fingerprint scans, which can be encrypted and processed either at the mobile device or on the server. To improve the efficiency of the encryption process, a wavelet-based AES algorithm is used. Additionally, a modified symmetric hash method is introduced to improve the security of the hashed fingerprint templates. This method involves the use of randomly selected hash functions and a secret key as a multiplication parameter to increase irreversibility and unlinkability. The proposed protocol is also equipped with a dynamic threshold matching method to address the potential loss of accuracy in the fingerprint matching process. Overall, the goal of this book is to present a secure and efficient internet voting protocol that is resistant to malware attacks.
