— Due to embedded systems, Evoting systems are becoming popular and widespread. Using homomorphic signature scheme, this paper implements the new Evoting system with the help of a Paillier cryptosystem and blind signature method. The embedded system is used as a voting machine and the RFID are used to perform the casting of votes according to government rules.

This paper presents an application for an e-voting system on Android OS. Our study is about Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) that has features of homomorphic encryption. This application is aimed to develop an electronic election application which people can use easily in Turkey.

In this paper, we base our research on biometric systems security. We begin by introducing biometrics after which we will describe how a biometric system works before we later define what a biometric template is. Thereafter, we will explore attacks on biometric systems and lay more emphasis on biometric template attacks and explore attacks targeting biometric templates in a biometric system database. These attacks motivated us to study the existing biometric template protection schemes and techniques currently in use to determine their strengths and weaknesses. In the end, we summarize this study in the conclusion section of the paper.

As the utilization of various e-voting technologies has notably increased in the past few years, so has the amount of publications on experiences with these technologies. This article will, therefore, map the literature while highlighting some of the important topics discussed within the field of e voting. Particular attention will be paid to the non-technical dimensions of implementation, including the socio-cultural, organizational, and political dimensions.

In a world were digitalization has taken over and everything or almost everything is either done on your computer or smartphone and remotely for that matter of fact, it would only be fitting for The University of Namibia to follow that trend and incorporate a web ballot system for its SRC elections, this system involves procedures such as registration of voters, vote casting, vote counting, and declaration of results. The development of this system constituted a good solution to the system that is currently in place. Therefore this research aimed to review the current voting system being used at The University of Namibia to find out its effectiveness and efficiency and how the newly proposed system reduces all the hassles when it comes to the SRC elections. The proposed system offers the voters the chance to cast their votes remotely at their own time without having to worry about the long queues or missing out on class. This system will also benefit the candidates as it will allow them to login into their candidate profiles and upload all their details including their previous milestones and manifesto slides just to mention a few. The Incremental process plan was adopted in the design of the web ballot system as it combines elements of the waterfall model in an iterative manner. In addition, the prototyping model was adopted as the methodology for designing the application. In designing the Online Voting System, Flowcharts, Use Case Diagrams and Data Flow Diagrams (DFD) were also employed.

Despite certain political, organizational, technological and socioeconomic benefits that e-voting brings, governments around the world are beginning one by one to denounce its further use in the electoral process. In this regard, the paper aims to analyze reasons that led to the discontinuation of e-voting, resorting to the case of Kazakhstan, a transitional post-soviet country, which actively used the technology in 2004-2011, as a poster child of the global trend, elaborating on key political, socioeconomic, organizational and technological risks that could be associated with the possible return of this innovation in future elections.

By focusing here on the electoral techniques debated by Tunisian political actors, this article proposes to analyse the social and political logics underlying the solutions proposed by the representatives and rulers of post-Ben Ali Tunisia to define the conditions for a "good representation" of the "people". It is the reciprocal relations between the local and the national, or more precisely between the marginalised regions and the political centre, that have constituted one of the explanatory variables of the choices made by the governors of post-Ben Ali Tunisia in terms of electoral techniques. The emergence of the "local" in the "national" resulted in the adoption of a first electoral law integrating the regional question in some of its dimensions and in the adoption by the constituents of a largely decentralised state architecture. The new Constitution, by providing for the organisation of local authorities run by councils elected by universal suffrage, has encouraged the actors of the post-Ben Ali political scene to once again raise the issue of the effects of electoral techniques on the functioning of the political scene, both local and national.

Few governments have introduced electronic voting so far. They are all facing criticism regarding the trustworthiness of their systems. The project ―Selectio Helvetica‖ aims at developing an Internet voting system that can withstand such doubts more easily. It offers full transparency by publishing all the relevant voting data on a public bulletin board. This enables voters to verify the inclusion of their votes and the correctness of the tallying. The underlying cryptographic protocol differs from other protocols since it involves mixing the voters‘ public signature keys, rather than mixing the votes themselves. This paper introduces the Selectio Helvetica project and the cryptographic protocol in a way that is meant to attract an audience that does not necessarily have much technical background; namely representatives from legislation, jurisdiction, governmental chancelleries and, not least, the electorate itself.
