Abstract

The issue of web-based voting has caused must debates from all party mainly because of its security considerations. A secured web-based voting application should fulfill the following criteria: completeness, soundness, privacy, ~eusability, eligibility, fairness, and verifiability. However, most of the current existing application is not able to fulfill those criteria. Therefore, the thesis title "E-Ballot using Identity Based Encryption" is researched and implemented to identity the feasibility of integrating the Identity Based Encryption with the web-based voting application. The Identity Based Encryption is a new scheme to solve the problems which was found on the traditional Public Key Infrastructure. Using Identity Based Encryption, the use of certificates will be eliminated and the cost of infrastructure will be decreased because the maintenance of the certificates database is not necessary anymore. In this thesis, VOTOPIA is taken as a sample current existing web-based voting application that makes use of traditional PKl for analysis purpose. Problem statement is established based on the analysis and requirement for the to-be system is captured. Besides that, an early design of the to-be system is established as well including system architecture, user interfaces design, and logical database design. As in conclusion, the wellness ofidentity Based Encryption is to be demonstrated through the completion of this thesis.
