(2,2) Visual Cryptography Based Biometric Authentication Mechanism for Online Elections

Abstract

Voting is a process of choosing leader who we trust and will work for our benefit. The process of choosing the leader is currently through EVM having the facts to be considered like Voter Authentication, Security of vote casted and Vote anonymity along with Vote verification. The very first thing which requires to improve is moving from EVM voting to Secure Electronic Voting where digitization plays an important role in providing the access to vote from anywhere which meets the current need for keeping us updated with technology and serving the citizens with the advanced Technology. Keeping Electronic voting in mind here we propose the very first step towards new way of voting that is voter authentication. Using visual cryptography schemes, we can here implement the voter authentication mechanism using fingerprint matching. Fingerprint matching is one of the biometric which can be considered as one of the key steps towards voter authentication along with visual cryptography.
