Abstract
Voting is the most representative way to express individual decision making in a democratic society. The classic voting method requires a lot of confirmation procedures, and requires a lot of time and money. In order to solve these kinds of problems, there have been efforts to introduce e-voting with IT services advantages, such as reduced election costs and shorter tally hours, compared to the existing voting methods. Despite many advantages, e-voting is not widely used for various technical concerns, including the risk of data manipulation. There has been much effort recently to apply the blockchain for voting data integrity to e-voting as a way to reduce the risk of voting data security and integrity. Blockchain could guarantee the integrity of voting data, but it has problems to be directly applied to e-voting system. In this paper, by applying cryptographic algorithms to the blockchain, we propose a verifiable blockchain-based e-voting system that allows voters to verify their votes while separating voters and voting results. Proposed the verifiable blockchain-based e-voting system satisfies the requirements of voting, including completeness, soundness, privacy, un-reusability, eligibility, fairness, verifiability.
