A Novel approach for internet voting system using efficient visual cryptography

An efficient visual cryptography in internet voting system has not been developed yet in our country. Traditional voting system is used in our country which is not safe and secure. After developing a system for online voting we can save user�s valuable time and increase the percentage of voting and also it provides security. Web based voting allows the voter to cast his vote from any remote location in state or out of state to the candidate which is participated in election ,if and only if he safely logged in the system with the correct password which is generated using VC scheme after stacking the two shares. Where the share 1 is send by Admin to e-mail id of voter at the time of registration and the share 2 is saved at the system database. It is made available during election for his login. Voter will get the secret password to cast his vote only after combining share 1 and share 2 using V. Visual Cryptography (VC) is a secret share generation scheme in which an image is converted into shares. The hacker cannot get any information by observing any one of the share. We can get the information about the original image only after stacking number of shares. There are three different scheme present in visual cryptography 2 out of 2 VC, k out of n VC, n out of n VC. 2 out of 2 VC has been used for an efficient voting system. Even if the hacker get password of one share, it is not possible to get the password of the second share, as it is sent to the E-Mail Id of the voter. Thus IVS provides high security to the voting system.
