Abstract
Conference Title: 2014 World Symposium on Computer Applications & Research (WSCAR) Conference Start Date: 2014, Jan. 18 Conference End Date: 2014, Jan. 20 Conference Location: Sousse, Tunisia Information technology plays a huge role in the world today and its solutions are becoming vital in almost all fields of life. One of those solutions is e-government. However, in spite of the growing reliance on e-government applications, e-voting is still not widely accepted nor deployed because it lacks reliable solutions to problems like fraud, bribery, coercion, and absence of reliable independent observation. This paper proposes a mobile biometric-based scheme that solves such problems whilst preserving transparency and privacy along with other essential services using techniques such as trapdoor authentication and virtual receipts, in addition to a number of mechanisms including RSA blind signatures and GPS. The paper also provides a security analysis of the proposed scheme. A proof-of-concept implementation of this scheme has been built and successfully tested.
