Online voting system using Rivest Shamir Adleman encryption algorithm

Abstract

The Online Voting System Using Rivest-Shamir-Adleman Encryption Algorithm is a system designed to manage elections in a college and to allow voters to cast their votes online using their Android mobile devices. The traditional voting process faces challenges such as invalidating the bona fide voters, time-consuming results generation, and low voter turnout.

The system allows the system administrators to create elections, define positions, add candidates, add departments and degree programs, and manage voter registrations. Voters can log in using their Android mobile devices by entering their unique credentials and a one-time password sent to their registered mobile numbers or email addresses. After successful verification, users can securely cast their votes and can view election results when the election period is done. Votes are encrypted using the RSA encryption algorithm for secure and tamper-proof voting.

The real-time tallying and displaying of the partial result functionalities improve the transparency and speed of the election process. After the election period, the generation of results is faster and more reliable. Since the system can be accessed online, it can help increase the voter turnout.

The system helps increase efficiency, improve accessibility, save costs, provide convenient administration, minimize human error, provide faster election results, and quickly generate reports.
