Abstract (EN)

In recent years, blockchain technology has, to a large extent, affected all aspects of life, however, until now, elections have not received their share of blockchain support and paper-based elections have been implemented. It is time to upgrade the election scenario using modern technology such as blockchain and advanced cryptography methods. Both Estonia and the New South Wales state of Australia have been using e-Voting systems, but an example software of their systems produced for analysis was discovered to have weaknesses against many kinds of attacks, such as malware, network attacks, and servers' attacks. The fact that the Blockchain technology has demonstrated infinite immutability and resistance against hacking illustrates that its use to secure election results from fraud by saving every single piece of data, record or transaction with unchangeable history is possible. In this thesis, we propose and test implement a secure online voting system based on blockchain that facilitates citizens' election process. The essence of our work consists in abandoning the traditional database and compensating it with two private-blockchains instead of one with the blind signature to ensure voter/vote privacy and the results can be safeguarded from manipulation. Also, using Blockchain's distributed network reduces the load on the net. Finally, solutions to problems of impersonation and vote-selling are suggested. The technology behind the digital voting system design is explained in terms of the processes involved, such as ID creation, authentication, voting, and vote tallying.
