A Novel Approach for Secure Mobile-Voting using Biometrics in Conjunction with Elliptic Curve Crypto-Stegano Scheme

The significant improvement in the information and communication Technology (ICT) from last few decades increases various new needs. E-Governance system has also no exception. People are approaching to fulfill their dreams. In the case of M-voting the security is the major issue. Democracy Needs all and only the authorized voters can vote and each eligible voter can vote but not more than once. To achieve these voters need to be registered properly and authenticated. This paper presents a novel approach to provide secure mobile voting based on Biometrics in conjunction with elliptic curve cryptography and steganography (ECC-stegano scheme).
