DOI 10.1109/ieeeconf61558.2024.10585388
Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In the modern era, e-voting systems are pivotal in enhancing democratic processes. This research explores the application of the Paillier algorithm's Partial Homomorphic Encryption (PHE) in e-voting, prioritizing data security and voter anonymity to maintain the voting process's integrity and confidentiality. Using the Paillier cryptosystem in Python provides a secure, efficient, and scalable e-voting solution. Our model is compared with conventional and other homomorphic encryption methods, showcasing its superior security and efficiency, offering a viable option for improving elections. The importance of stringent security in e-voting systems is paramount. The Paillier Cryptosystem excels in safeguarding vote confidentiality and integrity thanks to its PHE capabilities. Yet, a significant challenge is the computational demand, especially in large-scale scenario elections where quickly processing millions of votes is critical.
