Project Overview
• Problems with current paper process? Integrity & Fairness
Validating ballot Pregnant ballot
Positioning candidate name in ballot
Project Overview (Cont’d)
• Issues in Designing Internet Voting System (IVS)
Authentication of voters Privacy Equity Security
Current Researches on IVS
• Approaches to meeting the security, secrecy, scalability, and convenience requirements of elections;
• Development of methods to reduce the risk of insider fraud;
• Development of reliable poll site and kiosk Internet voting systems that are not vulnerable to any single point of failure and cannot lose votes;
Current Researches on IVS (cont’d)• Development of new procedures for
continuous testing and certification of election systems;
• Protocols for preventing vote selling and reducing coercion;
• Electronic authentication for kiosk and remote voting system;
Current Researches on IVS (cont’d)• Human factors design for electronic
voting; • Effects of Internet voting on participation
in elections; • Implications of Internet voting for
political campaigns; • Experimentation, modeling, and
simulation of election systems.
Goals
• To design a manager for an internet voting system where voters can cast ballots through internet;
• To experiment, model, and simulate some approaches on internet election voting system;
Components
• Emphasis on two components IVS manager (IVSM) (sever side) Voter (client side)
• Integration with other components, e.g., database

Basic Functions of IVSM
• Administrator login setup• login id – administrator’s ID;• password – administrator’s password;
• Database setup• Candidate list database;• Voter database;
• Voting period setup• Start time;• Stop time;
Basic Functions of IVSM (Cont’d)
• Server initializing;• Ballot counting – doing statistics on the
voting ballots.

Basic Functions of the Server
• Idling – waiting for visit;• Querying – getting ballots for the requested
election title from the database;• Caching – storing data and making them
available to querying;• Uploading – sending required blank ballots
to client.

Application Programs PM = 2.4*(KDSI) 1.05
TDEV = 2.5* (PM) 0.38
Utility Programs PM = 3.0*(KDSI)

System Programs PM = 3.6*(KDSI) 1.20
TDEV = 2.5*(PM) 0.32
KDSI = 5.1 KLOC
PM = 2.4*(KDSI) 1.05 = 13 person-month
TDEV = 2.5 * (PM) 0.38 = 6.5 month
