A New Elliptic Curve Based Electronic Voting Protocol

According to the spread of various elections and the need for safety and confidence of the voting process , electronic voting has been of considerable attention. Numerous studies show that the electronic voting system can be proved to the requirements of a voting process. One suitable method for the implementation of electronic voting can be homomorphic encryption. Homomorphic encryption method is an encryption system that is isomorphic to the operation. In this paper, using elliptic curve encryption, a new electronic voting protocol is provided, which can be monitored by all. The system is based on the difficulty of solving discrete logarithm problem on elliptic curve and provides voters and key safety. The proposed protocol was tested for 100 milion voters in a referendum in which the total number of votes was counted in the 30 seconds.
