Fingerprint as Voter Authentication for Development of E-Voting System Using Two Central Facilities Protocol.

Abstract

Electronic voting (e-voting) is carrying out of balloting in a eletronic manner and can to utilizing information technology web-based in order that be able implementation election system in accordance with online in order to substitute election that be done conventionally (paper based) with a purpose to help problems solve at hand, such as elector of double, vote puschasing, the number of vote is illegal, etc. The e-voting system which developed using two central facilities protocol consist of three component that is voting machine as client for interaction with voter, central legitimization agency (CLA) as server voter authentication, and central tabulating facility (CTF) as server for result recapitulation voter vote count. Research in this thesis just focused to voter authentication process on voting machine toward database of voter that stored in CLA with using fingerprint biometric technology. Fingerprint biometric technology used for voter registration process, voter verification process, and voter authentication process who will doing election. Registration process for acquire voter fingerprint image database, verification process to be sure voter database can be verificated or not, and authentication process for voter authorization who can be permitted or not by system give of vote in election. In the voter authentication from this system, who voter can be permitted by system give of her/his vote will be directed to ballot page only voter who her/his fingerprint image recognizable by system. Whereas voter which her/his fingerprint image cannot recognized by system, so system will not direction to ballot page with the result that voter cannot give of her/his vote in election.
