Abstract
With the increase in popularity of electronic voting, it has become necessary to have secure online voting mechanism. This paper presents a novel online voting scheme by using combination of biometric and password based security. The scheme uses Fuzzy Extractor to provide biometric based authentication, while secret password is used to provide password based protection of the voter. In addition, Pairing-Based Cryptography is used to provide the necessary security requirements of an online voting system. A prototype of the proposed scheme is implemented and its performance and security analysis shows that the proposed scheme is cost-effective and at the same time satisfies the security requirements of an online voting system.
