Secure voting system through SMS and using smart phone Application

Symmetric key, public key, private key, election commission.

Mobile voting system is used to cast their votes in secure manner. Previously the votes were casted through the traditional methods of polling booths, punch cards, lever voting, optical voting machine, which are now replaced through some electronic mediums. All of these consume more time to cast their votes. The proposed system is developed to select their candidate through smart phone application. This process consists of three steps: voter registration through online, dropping of votes and declaration of results, through the concept of SMS (short messaging service).It provides more efficiency for voters to cast their vote from anywhere, at any time through internet. The important aspect of this is to provide more security till the core, since every vote counts and each of the votes are to be remained confidential. This prevents voters to cast their vote more than once with the use of OTP (one time password) for every sign in and login. It also reduces the paper work and eliminates the manual counting process. Here the security is provided through the RSA encryption algorithm.
