Object-oriented Metrics Analysis for Implementation of Authentication in Smart Card Based E-governance Mechanism

The gradual scientific enhancements have made the present day society highly technology dependent in nature. To attend this community, nowdays the state owned agencies are extensively using ICT based governance mechanism called Electronic Governance. This paradigm shift from conventional form of governance to electronic form of governance have helped the Government and its Citizenry to a great extent. The administration can launch new developmental project for its Citizenry with less man power, operational cost and more promptness and accuracy. Whereas the Citizenry can access their facilities in-timely manner with ease and transparency. As a natural phenomenon to the real life application of this electronic mechanism, huge data traffic load will be mounted over the servers and the nodes of the system. Eventually the eavesdropper will attempt to breach the entire data transmission process and finally escalate their access to materialize their ill intentions. In this case, the security analyst must prevent the unauthorized access of these services and facilities at any cost. Considering this situation, the authors have already proposed an EGovernance model using object oriented software engineering approach, which is based on a multivariate electronic smart card called Multipurpose Electronic Card (MEC). This smart card will help to uniquely identify its original owner during E-Governance transactions including the financial transactions also. To validate our E-Governance model scientifically, in this paper we have performed the object oriented metrics analysis for authentication of the users using our proposed smart card based E-Governance mechanism.
