2019 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Manufacturing (AIAM) Analysis Cryptographic for Electronic Votes in Systems of Distributed Architectures Segundo Moisés Toapanta Toapanta Nathaly Vanessa Orellana Vélez Computer Science Department Universidad Politécnica Salesiana Ecuador Guayas, Guayaquil, Ecuador e-mail: [email protected] Computer Science Department Universidad Politécnica Salesiana Ecuador Guayas, Guayaquil, Ecuador e-mail: [email protected] Danny Wilfrido Barona Valencia Luis Enrique Mafla Gallegos Computer Science Department Universidad Politécnica Salesiana Ecuador Guayas, Guayaquil, Ecuador e-mail: [email protected] Faculty of Engineering Systems Escuela Politécnica Nacional Quito, Pichincha, Ecuador e-mail: [email protected] Abstract—It was considered that electronic voting is revolutionary around the world because of the new technological trends that are improving over time with their security and privacy in the different voting platforms; this problem is notable in all underdeveloped countries. The objective is to analyze and determine a cryptographic system to improve the security with efficiency and effectiveness in the electoral processes at the moment of paying and having a vote count, maintaining the transparency and integrity of the data. The deductive method was used to analyze the different cryptographic algorithms used in electronic votes that provide greater knowledge in the new trends of electronic votes. It was determined the operation of the Smartmatic that allows to identify the methods when making the electronic votes around the world, each of these systems implements an exclusive security for their voting systems, so that the voter carries out the action of paying and this vote is keep intact and transparent for the system and for the general public, achieving high reliability and integrity of the data, in addition a change in society will be noted, promoting democracy and honesty. It was concluded that electronic votes show a high level of trust, although this depends on the age and education of the voter who must have some knowledge in the field of computer science, this refers to the elderly who in many cases Sometimes they do not have the comfort and adequate confidence. This system can be an alternative to implement electronic voting in Ecuador to improve democracy. familiar with using ballots instead of electronic votes [3], problem that occurs is that there is no standard cryptographic system, to choose it according to our environment [4]. Why implement electronic voting in Ecuador using secure cryptography? Because in Ecuador to date the system of printed ballots is used, which is a method that entails many shortcomings from corruption by altering the ballots [5][6], to environmental problems when using logging for the impressions of ballots and more tools for these processes, with the change that is made by using electronic voting systems open more security for the voter, with a cryptographic system we can have greater security by knowing the processes that will be carried out without alterations or loss of information. The objective of this analysis is to understand the use of electronic votes in a safe way and the management of them in order to have a centralized distributed system for the admission of the same. Electronic voting is essential to avoid some kind of fraud by increasing public confidence [5]. A hypothetical deductive method is used to analyze the types of cryptographic algorithms for electronic voting to analyze the information of the referenced articles. It turns out that the Smartmatic system has all the security advantages for the voter and the staff that manages this system to control the statistics of the votes; having a hash, electronic signature and fingerprint biometric to authenticate the voter without this one can try to pay in several places and what the system will not allow is that the process advances because the voter made the vote in their respective place of suffrage. Keywords—Electronic voting, security, voting platform, cryptography, Smartmatic, privacy, ballots I. I NTRODUCTION It is concluded that the electronic voting systems in the world are very safe, because the results are not altered before being delivered to the controlling entity, therefore, electronic voting requires a security method that can guarantee the authenticity of the data of the voter before voting [1][7]. Currently, electronic votes are becoming more profitable for many developing countries, so we must take into account the cryptographic methods that maintain the information integrity to protect and have consistency of the data when making a vote count giving anonymity and reliability of the voter when carrying out the suffrage [1]. he electronic voting systems that have been successful are because they are adapted to meet the specific requirements of a jurisdiction or country in which it will operate [2].
