Electronic voting with trusted computing

With the development of communication and information technologies, many areas of human life is held again. People can accomplish many affairs quicker, faster, cheaper and more interactively. Today is convenient time for people to start using new technologies when choosing the people who to manage them, when many communities are governed by democracy and many aspects of life re-designed to fit the development. But when the elections are in question, the sociological aspect of the issue should be taken in consideration and an open-coded, comprehensible and trustworthy system should be designed rather than very high-level technologies. In this thesis a system, which is at a reliable clarity level as well as being secure enough, is suggested . This system includes a standalone voting machine, but not just the voting machine entire election process is discussed. A detailed review about Trusted Computing is also presented as security and reliability of voting machines are based on Trusted Platform Module (TPM) . Finally, a demo developed using the Trusted Platform Module and usage of TPM in practice are described in detail .
