“…It seeks to avail citizens of voting age the fundamental right to choose their leaders irrespective of location, time, and physical wellbeing. The e-voting system is a digitised procedure that is meant to circumvent the manual and tedious processes of a paper-based voting system [1] [32]. However, e-voting has been constantly bedevilled by some security challenges such as authentication and privacy of voters at one hand, and the confidentiality, integrity, and transparency of the voting process on the other hand [1] [35].…”

“…This challenge can be addressed by ensuring that voters are whom they claim to be during voter registration and voting session. Thus, several authentication methods including typical biometric features, multi-modal biometric authentication, two-factor authentication, and blockchain have been proposed and developed to reinforce the security of e-voting systems [1,2,5,6,8,16,31,32,35,40,59]. Although, hand gesture recognition wearable glove-based sensor approach and the camera vision-based sensor approach [25] as well as [60] can also be applied for the deaf with appropriate design considerations.…”

An inevitable factor that makes the concept of electronic voting irresistible is the fact that it offers the possibility of exceeding the manual voting process in terms of convenience, widespread participation, and consideration for People Living with Disabilities. The underlying voting technology and ballot design can determine the credibility of election results, influence how voters felt about their ability to exercise their right to vote, and their willingness to accept the legitimacy of electoral results. However, the adoption of e-voting systems has unveiled a new set of problems such as security threats, trust, and reliability of voting systems and the electoral process itself. This paper presents a critical literature review on concepts, architectures, and existing authentication strategies in voice recognition systems for the e-voting system for the disabled electorate. Consequently, in this paper, an intelligent yet secure scheme for electronic voting systems specifically for people living with disabilities is presented.

“…The HSM can be hardened to counter damage or tampering situated in a secure location to check unapproved access. Presently, the ultra-secure Personal Computers (PCs) come with an in-built HSM that requires two-factor authentication [15] in tamper-proof casing for the purpose of automatic deletion of the private key to forestall breaches of logical and physical security controls [16].

The use of cryptosystem became popular because of the increased need for exchanges across untrusted medium especially Internet-enabled networks. On the basis of application several forms of cryptosystems have been developed for purpose of authentication, confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation. Cryptosystems make use of encryption schemes that convert plaintext to ciphertext in diverse areas of applications. The vast progressions in the Internet of Things (IoT) technology and resource-constrained devices have given rise to massive deployment of sensor devices and growth of services targeted at lightweight devices. Though, these devices support a number of services, they require strong lightweight encryption approaches for privacy protection of data. Existing lightweight cryptosystems fall short on the expected privacy levels and applicability in emerging resource-constrained environment. This paper develops a mathematical model for a Sooner lightweight cryptographic scheme based on reduced and hardened ciphertext block sizes, hash sizes and key sizes of traditional cryptosystems and Public Blockchain technology for ubiquitous systems. Thereafter, the hardening procedure offered by the RSA homomorphic encryption was applied for the purpose of generating stronger, secure and lightweight AES, RSA and SHA-3 in order to deal with untrusted channels exchanges. The proposed Sooner is recommended for adoption in public Blockchain-based smart systems and applications for the purpose of data privacy.

“…Difficulty in integration with legacy systems; [16,17]. Due to the presence of the above-mentioned properties and after looking at the frauds that occurred in digital electoral systems as discussed in Table 2, it is recommended that the Blockchain technology is used in Electronic Voting Machines to make them more intelligent and secure [18,19].…”

A democratic election is a crucial event in any country. Therefore, the government of the country is concerned with creating more competitive and fairer elections. This paper discusses the survey and scope of Blockchain technology adoptions in conducting elections. A distributed digital ledger is used in the Blockchain technology that is utilized for recording transactions happening between two parties. Ledger conducts this processing in an efficient and effective manner with latest secure mechanism of encryption algorithms. Therefore, the data stored in several blocks in each transaction is secure, transparent, and tamper-proof, which ultimately improves the transparency and voter confidentiality. This paper demonstrates how the benefits of the Blockchain technology such as immutability, transparency and end-to-end verifiability can be utilized by the national governments around the world to ensure fair democratic elections. In short, we aim to present a rigorous mechanism of a Blockchain based e-voting system, its efficiency based on different consensus algorithms and the overall progress and analysis based on some critical parameters to anticipate the feasibility of the successful implementation of the proposed e-voting system.
