ABSTRACT: This research investigates
the applications of homomorphic encryption systems in electronic voting
schemes. We make use of Paillier cryptosystem which exhibits additive
homomorphic properties. The other homomorphic cryptosystems RSA and Elgamal are
not considered, since they exhibit only multiplicative homomorphic property.
Our proposed method increases the level of security when compared to Elgamal
method. It is more flexible when compared to previous schemes. We also propose
data packing for efficient storage of election data. Finally, we demonstrate
the advantages of the homomorphic encryption in voting schemes by comparing
with other electronic voting scheme.
