showing the option to vote, this facility is given thanks to the
age and knowledge of voters [12] of electronic systems in
general.
The devices that are used are the following:
x Direct electronic recording (DRE)
II. M ATERIALS AND METHODS
x Optical Scanners (OS).
A. Materials
The types of security in the electronic voting of the most
developed countries are analyzed in order to know the
different types of cryptography with a system that should only
know the result of the vote, without revealing the exact vote,
in certain countries, the automated elections generate a large
percentage of confidence in the electoral population, carried
out through a safe and transparent process eliminating the
margin of human error [7] [8].
The touch screen reviews the list of candidates and a
numeric keypad to record the vote, these machines are
equipped with smart card readers as opposed to the optical
scanner which gives voters a greater degree of privacy and the
voter made the vote on a ballot and entered it into a scanner
which showed the data that the voter selected on the screen.
At the moment that the user finishes his voting he will not
be able to change his vote since the information is stored
digitally in the machine. The aforementioned devices use a
VVAT (Voter Verified Audit Trail) which provides the voter
to verify that the issued ballots were processed without
altering the data. It was observed that the people who vote
have more confidence in the DRE technology than those who
use OS [1].
(1) Traditional voting and pilot test of electronic voting
in Ecuador (Latin America)
The votes in Ecuador have been made with the traditional
method of printed ballots, which has caused a great negative
impact on society since voters when making their vote are not
sure that they are accounted for correctly, this being the first
step for corruption. Certain citizens are chosen to be part of
the polling station members, which before the voting day,
citizens are trained to know their function depending on the
role that has been assigned. After the voting, the members of
the voting table must count the votes, but in these cases there
are always human errors since the votes can be altered or
modified before delivery to those in charge of receiving the
ballots and performing the scan.
(3) Electronic votes in Fujioka, Okamoto and Ohta
(Japan).
In Japan, in several countries a system called Sensus is
used, not only for electoral or political processes but also for
surveys through computer networks using blind signatures,
which refers to cryptographic protocols that hide the content
of their data, using it for reliability and the digital signature to
authenticate the voter [10], which allows the voting user who
is registered, to make his vote only once. The system uses
encryption algorithm like the RSA RSA (Rivest, Shamir and
Adleman) is an asymmetric algorithm, which uses a public
key that is in charge of the distribution and another private one
that performs the encryption of the data and keeps it secret,
these algorithms are sufficiently strong so that the encrypted
votes cannot be corrupted or usurped without the proper key.
(2) Electronic votes in Argentina and Colombia (Latin
America)
The pilot tests of electronic voting in Colombia and
Argentina have had a great impact on society since it shows a
higher level of confidence in these devices, they noticed that
when interacting with the machine it gave very simple and
understandable instructions, using a touch screen and
Fig. 1. Schematic illustration Sensus system.
In Fig. 1 we can show the operation of how voters encrypt
their votes with a public key which is sent to the validator.
2) The function of the indicator is to publish the
encrypted file, but first the voter must send his
password so that the indicator can decipher it, since
this will allow the voter to confirm that his vote was
counted appropriately in case the voter thinks he / she
presented a fraud; The voter can protest by presenting
his encrypted file or vote and the password.
1) The function of the validator is to remove the voter's
signature and verify that the voter is the registered
voter, in case the verification has satisfactorily
concluded this vote will be registered, this prevents the
voter from taking votes consecutively.
