Abstract:

Voting process in today's era is behind its time as it relates to the involvement of technology. The voting process is been fully manual and paper based. This process can be overwhelming, time-consuming and prone to security breaches and electoral fraud. Over the years technology related systems were developed to resolve some of these issues like Electronic based voting that is been actively used for voting in countries like India and so. However these systems were still prone to electoral frauds and voters has to make tremendous effort in order to cast their ballots. With that said, there are a few very important areas which were identified that need to be addressed. These issues include Security which involve person be able to vote in secure manner, Time spent for voting by voters, Efficiency in counting of votes and Cost involved in employing manual people for voting. So taking the above into consideration we here have come with Biometric secured mobile voting technique that will address these issues. This is a novel technology and also first of its kind at present. Using fingerprint based biometric control information and encryption [1][2] along with SSL using VeriSign [3] would make the software involved in the voting process well secured. In addition tying the credentials to a mobile device will make the system even more robust. The mobile equipment that will be used for development of the system will be in the form of a smart phone using Android 3.0 (Honeycomb [4]). The details are presented in the paper.
