B. Methods
For this study, a hypothetical deductive method is applied
to analyze several types of cryptographic systems and
algorithms for electronic voting and in the future it can be
implemented in Ecuador.
making the counts since this new system will maintain the
reliability and integrity of the data and at the same time will be
within a distributed architecture that helps to have better
processing by dividing the work overload and supporting the
data.
What will be done first, will be to analyze all the available
information on the different electronic voting systems and
identify which would be the best option to be able to apply it
for our social environment.
III. R ESULTS
The analysis of this research has the result of making
known the different methods when making the electronic
votes, each of these systems implements an exclusive security
for their voting systems, that’s why the Smartmatic Fig. 3.
System was taken for the durability of their equipment and
saving time when counting votes. This system is perfectly
coupled to the distributed architecture since, when receiving
the electronic vote, the machine sends the vote to the counting
center that will later be stored in a database.
As a second activity, it will be to choose one of the
algorithms and conduct a pilot for Ecuador at the time of
future elections.
The main objective for the use of electronic votes, will be
that there will be no difficulties of surplus votes at the time of
Fig. 3. Operation of the Smartmatic.
In Fig. 3 the following is executed:
5) After the voters have cast their votes and confirm their
selection, the votes will be encrypted with a public key
and will be transmitted through a local area network to
the server of the ballot and a proof of suffrage is
printed that is deposited in an amphora
1) The voter shows up at his meeting showing his
identification.
2) The representative of the board verifies if it appears in
the system, making a search in the whole register
verifying the voter.
6) The encrypted vote will be sent to a server that is
responsible for storing all the votes
3) The voter places his finger on a fingerprint scanner,
capturing it and comparing it with a previously stored
fingerprint.
7) The votes are transferred to the server of storage of
votes whose main function is to decipher the votes by
means of a private key.
4) The network server will confirm the authenticity of the
voter and then send the list of candidates.
8) Finally, the results are shown in a statistic.
