Abstract:
Homomorphic encryption is a type of encryption that allows performing computation on ciphertext and returning an encrypted result. The decrypted of the result is equal to the same result when performing the same computation on plaintext. Homomorphic encryption has become more useful and more important in many different cryptographic applications such as voting protocols, cloud computing and private information retrieval.The main aim of thesis is to introduce the concepts of homomorphic encryption and how to exploit these concepts to solve open problems in cryptography field. A remote e - Voting system is designed and implemented using homomorphic encryption as an example of these problems. The homomorphic properties in ElGamal cryptosystem are exploited to achieve two important voting prerequisites : first, the security of device used for electronic voting by voter. Second, the voter has the ability to choose willfully and without force. The system achieves the privacy of voters. That mean no one can link the identity of the voter and his vote. The privacy is preserved by using homomorphic encryption which can count the results without revealing the individual votes. In addition to privacy, the system achieves the other general voting system requirements such as eligibility, accuracy, fairness, Receipt - freeness, coercion resistance, mobility, simplicity, individual verifiability, scalability and availability.The structure of the system consists of four stages : setup, registration, voting and tallying. The concepts of object oriented software engineering and unified modeling language are adopted in the stages of developing the system.Finally Java programming language (NetBeans IDE 8.0.2), MySQL (WampServer64 - phpMyAdmin) and Pacestar Unified Modeling Language (UML) Diagrammer V 6.38 are used as tools for implementation.
