AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This technology allows for securely recording and verifying vote counts without compromising their authentication status by adding a special way called Blockchain (BFT). It uses blocks instead of real balls - they have unique identifiers like addresses rather than physical tokens – allowing them to store all possible transactions within its own memory space. Each time someone wants to participate in a specific election campaign, only those who want access will see if anyone else has voted against him/her beforehand. Additionally, there may also include a security mechanism where certain members of Parliament limit how many people could join up during elections. Overall, these technical improvements make voting more accessible while maintaining accurate record keeping.

Problems solved by technology

Technical Problem: Current electronically-scored systems are vulnerabilities due to issues like forgery or manipulation of votes over time. These technical solutions involve adding more layers of protection against these attacks but they also increase complexity and cost.

Embodiment Construction

[0041] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0042] The present invention implements a block chain-based anonymous electronic voting method (the method architecture diagram is shown in figure 1 As shown, the flow chart of the method is as figure 2 shown), the specific method includes the following steps:

[0043] 1. Select system parameters: This system uses a blind signature algorithm based on RSA, and the encryption algorithm involved is RSA. The voter generates a random number r i as a blinding factor. The system chooses a secure hash function H(m), SHA-256. Then each partial entity generates a public-private key pair (P k , P s ), the public key P k (n,e) is disclosed to other parts, keeping their own private key P s (p,q,d). The encryption method of each part is expressed as: E RA ,E IA ,E TC , respectively representing the certification center, supervisory agency, and vote counting ce...

Abstract

The invention relates to an anonymous electronic voting method based on blockchain. A blind signature electronic voting scheme is introduced into blockchain as a vote information database, each vote is written into a transaction data block and transmitted to a counting center, in addition, a monitoring mechanism is introduced into the method, then rights of operators can be limited, and the situation that fraud voting is resulted or the voting process is interfered and voting results are affected since rights of operators are too centralized, is avoided. By adopting the method, the anonymity of a conventional electronic voting system is effectively solved, and the method has the characteristics that votes cannot be forged, the voting process and the voting results are open and transparentand can be verified, and the like.
