Palestinian E-Voting System Based on Blockchain Technology رسالة ماجستير

Abstract

Integrity and transparency are two key metrics that must be achieved in any democratic voting. Without doubt, manual voting is a complicated, error-prone and costly process. The massive advances in computing and communication have the potential to have a significant positive impact on the voting process. It will take time for the voting process to be completely digitalized. Nevertheless, improvements in voting technology are being made gradually in many countries promising that a fully electronic voting system is applicable, With the emergence of Blockchain technology, the e-voting system has the potential to be constructed as a distributed system. This would make it possible to guarantee transparency and integrity, among other things. The literature review was employed in this thesis technique to investigate the problems of developing a Blockchain-based E-Voting System. As a result, we constructed some Cryptography Algorithms-based functions to avoid any conflict between e-voting system features as part of our contribution. This conflict is mainly between the verifiability and the receipt-free features. The thesis ultimate goals are achieved by implementing an e-voting system that has the basic key features as a result
