A Structured and Layered Approach for a Modular Electronic Voting System: Defining the Security Service and the Network Access Layers

Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2016, Vol 18, Issue 4

Abstract

Abstract: This is the second part of the series of works that attempt to solve the problem of non-modularity in electronic voting systems. The work analyzed the second layer (Security Service layer) of our proposed structured and layered model. The Security Service layer was split into two sub-layers, namely; the Security control &application and the Security infrastructure sub-layers. A complete definition, description and detailed analysis of these sub-layers together with the components and modules that sit in the sub-layers were done. The work identified the Voter authentication module, the Device authentication system and the Information encryption module as the components/modules that are seen in the security control & application sub-layer, while the Token processing system and the Biometric security system were the identifiable components in the security infrastructure sub-layer.
