An efficient and secure mobile phone voting system

Electronic voting system provides convenience and access to the electorate without the geographical restrictions. Mobile phone is one of the emerging technologies to perform e-voting with democratic norms and privacy concern. In this paper we suggest a mobile phone voting protocol based on hybrid cryptosystem. Protocol consists of three phases: online registration; vote casting and vote collecting and result phase. Proposed protocol provides secure and efficient online vote casting and can also be implemented parallel with paper ballot voting system. Proposed protocol has efficiency, security and deployable in developing countries due to its reliance on SMS messaging without requiring internet connectivity.
