Sistema de eleições utilizando blockchain

Abstract

Every digital voting system is vulnerable to some kind of threat. Threats like, manipulation of voting system through the introduction of malicious code snippets, abuse of the centralized architecture using administrative access to defraud the results and hardware manipulation by specialized external devices. Researchers of Argonne National Laboratories reported that any individual with access to a device Electronic voting machines may install specialized components that manipulate the functions of the device. Faced with these difficulties, it was observed that a system a distributed database and thus enable more security and audit of information stored. With this in mind, the present work presents a prototype system electoral process using blockchain technology, taking into account its security characteristics and privacy that has proven to be consistent across applications in transaction systems of Bitcoin, spreading its use in the areas of health, public management and internet of things. For the development of the prototype, an open source service was blockchain The system will allow the complete monitoring of the results of the election, aiming to transparency of the voting process.
