English Abstract

Design Secure E-voting Scheme by Omar Al Hnaity Supervisor Professor Dr.Sattar J Aboud.

One of the most important tools for a healthy democracy is the election system.

It is the central pillar which all the democratic institutions are based upon, and it is what modern society depends on.

With the advance of Information Technology, electronic voting systems emerged as a new way to conduct elections.

This thesis propose e-Voting scheme that’s solve the security requirements.

The proposed e-voting scheme is a new Internet voting scheme developed using cryptography techniques.

This scheme consists of three phases registration phase, voting phase, and Counting phase.

In the registration phase the voters come to the registration centers to generate credentials based in public key cryptography techniques to generate tow pairs of keys.

In the voting phase the vote will walk through many steps to be considers as right vote, as will the vote encrypted two times using public key cryptography techniques plus contains handshake protocol to ensure the validity of the voter.

In the counting phase the votes will be counted two times from two sources to gain the highest accuracy.

The proposed e-voting scheme addresses the security requirements for e-voting over the Internet, including authentication, completeness, correctness, privacy, integrity, availability and reliability.
