Abstract - This paper gives a cramped view about a web enabled
application which has being originated and called Internet Voting
System using Implicit Data Security which enhances security
involving Login System & One Time Password. To brief more
about Internet Voting System, this was being created in a more
conventional way which was displayed as a dynamic website
limited to users only on the computer or laptops but this is now
being restructured to expand its usage to mobile users as well so
that people can install it on their phones which will expand the
volume of remote cast & increase the count of voters. These
probable voters could be physically challenged, elder citizens,
armed forces, youth and NRI’s who are eligible to cast their votes.
Keywords- Internet Voting System, Implicit Data Security, One
Time Password, Login System.
1. INTRODUCTION
Internet Voting has intensively considered since in last few
years. Various Internet Voting Protocols, therefore, have
been scheduled in last few years and progress its
effectiveness and security in various term. Internet Voting
Protocol allow voter to involve in an election over the
network via internet. Internet Voting Protocol encourages
two voters and elections organizer where Voters has the
facility to cast his vote ballots when and where, most
suitable for them and in addition it aid election organizers
by publishing accurate election result on the evening of the
election. Nevertheless, the leading, Solution with no errors
has been found for large scale election.
Design of complete Internet Voting Protocol over a
network is exceptionally complex job as various
requirements of the Internet Voting System have to be met.
Breakdown in any specification may lead to failure of
whole system. A good Internet Voting Scheme makes sure
that the participants should keep his ballots private. In
other words, the participant must not be able to prove
anyone that user has cast a particular ballot. User shall not
be able to make an evidence of the content of his/her
ballots.
For the Internet Voting System to function efficiently it
ensures error-free and robust online voting, it must gratify
the following criteria.
1. Eligibility – Except eligible voter, no one can vote.
2. Anonymity – Voter should have no knowledge where
his/her vote is.
3. Verifiability - A voter should have the knowledge
about his/her vote be added to the final reckoning and
whole process of voting should be fair.
4. Fairness – Process of Voting and Counting should be
completely fair.
5. Forcibility - A voter can cast his/her vote under no
pressure.
6. Receipt-freeness – voter should not have proven of
his vote.
7. Privacy – vote of voter shall be secure and not shared
by any voting authorities except counting poll process.
8. Robustness – any wrong behaviour of any particular
voter should not influence the entire process of
internet voting system.
Internet Voting over the network via Internet would be
much more profitable voters has the facility to cast users
vote from anywhere across the globe. Many voters would
appreciate the feature of Internet voting because by this,
rate of legal voter is increases as it as fast, cheap and
convenient which give great slam on the contemporary
democratic society. But simultaneously, this feature of
Internet Voting Protocol decreases the rate of voter to cast
users vote because voting process held over electric media
that is computer or laptop and at the time of voting, user
cannot cast his ballot without computer. For a successful
process of traditional Internet Voting System, user has to
go to the website via computer and internet and have to
perform various authentications and verification task
which cannot be make possible without computer and
laptop.
Thus it is conclude that, for sensitive issues like elections,
security is the major worry but at the same time, Simplicity
is also an important factor to ensure the participation of
common users.
Besides Security and simplicity, there may be some other
issues that need to be considering in order deploying a
successful internet online voting election. The next
important factor that needs to be considered is
authentication and authorization. these factors ensures
that only entitled voters shall cast a ballot that is only a
legal voter can participate in voting process over Internet
Voting System . To ensure authentication and

authorization, uses normally traditional Login system is
used in which a static ID and Password is used to ensure
authentication and fairness to the system. But while using
static ID and Password is vulnerable against
eavesdropping, replay attack and Man-in-the-middle.
Traditionally, Internet voting system uses Modern
cryptographic voting execution in which multiple layers of
encryption are present and decryption key for each
encrypted layer is with different authorities this action is
prime for improving fairness, confidentiality and
verifiability to the Internet Voting System. In modern
Cryptography Voting, uses multiple layer of encryption and
decryption of data at various levels such as a master
public/private key pair is cast off for encrypting and
decrypting of data that is ballots. Also, an individual’s
public/private k-key pair for respectively record legal
voter. This multi-level of encryption and decryption leads
to the system load.
II. LITERATURE SURVEY
In this paper [1], the author tries to emphasis on the action
of storing election data in Online Voting System. In order to
achieve outrageous security in system, Author introduces
two level of authentication technique. Face Detection and
recognition system is first authentication technique and
another authentication Technique is One Time Password.
Both authentication techniques help in enhancing
Vulnerability of the system.
In this paper [2], author focused on security bases on
cloud data storage. , Thus uses flexible and effective
distribution scheme. In which data partition method
involves roots of a polynomial in restricted field. A data is
breakdown into several small and store it on random
chosen server on the network and for retrieving original
data, data needs to be reconstructed which is further
secure using Login system and one time Password system.
In this paper [3], authors try to modernize the security of
an online storing system that is cloud computing. Revamp
in security is done by duo authentication mode. Dual
authentication mode consist of Login System and One Time
Password .In One Time System enhancing security by force
of access control over cloud computing whereas Login
system enrich the power by Inc. authentication and
flexibility to the system.
In this paper [4], the author demonstrated that propose a
downright utilitarian System called online data storage.
The plan has picked to make online system more secure
using data partitioning scheme in which uses multiple
roots in finite field. In data Partitioning Scheme, partition
stored on apparently servers of the network and to
recreate data, partition has to be reconstruction. In order
to reconstruct, access to each server is necessary and for
that credentials of each servers need to be know.
In this paper [5], the author studied that the technology for
securing online data that is implicit security techniques. In
this paper , author specially focus on cloud computing as
an online data storage system where try to enhance
security in cloud computing using implicit security and
different facts like One time System and traditional Login
System which more authentication to the system.
In this paper [6], Author introduces TSOTP, a fair and
effective OTP method. In which an isolated password is
generated for one time use and this isolated password is
generated based on both time stamps and sequence
number. This paper also conclude that while accessing
mobile phone devices as a OTP generator has
vulnerabilities to many attacks , memory scan attacks and
software clone blitz.
In this paper [7], Author mainly concentrates on the
attacks using static ID and password and to avoid such
attacks uses One Time password concept thus introduces a
method to generate One Time Password by using Genetic
Algorithm and Elliptic Curve Cryptography.
In this paper [9], Author tries to enhance the correctness of
user’s data in Cloud Computing. By this way, author
increases security in Cloud Computing based on Data
partitioning Scheme and Security Key Distribution scheme.
In different expressions author introduces a technology
which includes the Implicit Storage of encryption Keys
rather than the data and retrieving of data can be done by
reconstructing of data.
In this paper [10], author mainly concentrate on issues of
Cloud Computing that is Security of Data stored in the
servers of data centers of Cloud Computing, Author uses
Implicit Security Technology using information dispersal
and Secret Sharing Algorithm. By using this technology in
the Cloud Computing gains data security, reliability and
availability of information.
In this paper [11], author proposed a new idea using One
Time Password to secure static password in an Online
based application. In this paper[11], performance and
security is enhance by sending Encrypted One Time
Password to the users and users can only be login by
Mobile based technologies.
In this paper [12], the author discussed about ways to
reduce security of system by password. Generally , Text
based words are used for authentication which prone to
various attacks like password stealing attacks , password
reuse attacks , password cracking attacks , brute force
attacks , etc . Also, author discusses all the advantages of
using One Time password over text based words password
for improving security of a system.
Web Based Mobile Application First, from many past year,
Internet Voting System Our main research and
development activities are mature on Ensuring Security
and swell usability and availability in Internet Voting
System. For ensuring security we are applying Implicit

Data Storage technology which enhances data security,
reliability and availability of information and fairness of
the system .For extend usability and availability we
introduce new authentication method using Two-way
authentication which provide dual protection to the
system. In other word, two-way authentication provide
high level authentication to the system by verifying mobile
number using One Time Password system also, verifying
username and password using Login system. Combination
of One Time Password system and Login system protects
the Internet Voting system from many attacks likes
Phishing attacks , man-in-the-middle , Malware Trojan,
Reply attack , Delay attacks , eavesdropping.
A. Web Based Mobile Application
First, from many past year, Internet Voting System using in
various countries as an real Voting system where votes of
the votes are taken via official website and voting is done
under various security aspects. This present scenario of
taking votes on a website decreases many votes such as its
difficult to manage system and internet connection with
respect to login on a website and in case of re-voting, user
has to login again and again thus the possible of hacking an
account is high and also its inconvenient for a user to visit
again and again on system. Therefore, in this Paper,
Problem is solved by creating a Mobile Application for
Internet Voting System under various security aspects.
B. Implicit Data Model
Implicit Data Model In, Implicit Data Model, the Data
partitioning scheme is used with multiple servers where
each partitioning piece is stored in different servers. In
order to retrieve data user should be familiar with the
password & server where the subset is uploaded. This
information is kept in the HTTP Virtual Directory.
Therefore the partitioning piece is implicitly secure as it
shouldn’t give the complete information to any hacker.
This technique increases load balancing as it simplifies the
storage of each partitioning piece.
Internet Voting Protocol demands confidentiality &
verifiability as traditional researches focused on securing
of each vote which was done by cryptography using
multiple layers of encryption and decryption key for each
layer assigning it to different authorities which creates an
element of doubt that which authority is trustworthy.
Hence the entire process of Implicit Data Security will
remove such hindrances of encryption/decryption in
Internet Voting Protocol where Implicit Data Security
involves data partitioning scheme, which means each vote
will be further divided into m or more pieces and each
piece is stored in different servers. Each server consists of
a unique ID and password which will enable each server to
keep the segregated data in it. Original data can be
redeeming by reconstructing the partitioned pieces
whenever required.
Figure 1 : Implicit Data Model
C. Two-Way Authentication
In this Paper, Internet Voting System is get further secure
by getting Two-way Protection that is double protection.
Two-Way Protection gives security to the system in two
ways. Before going to Internet Voting Protocol, two special
systems are building up with respect to boost the security
such as. For dealing with sensitive data, Single-factor
authentication is not effective thus recommended to use
Multi-factor authentication because in single factor
authentication, authentication is done with using ID and
password as they are inexpensive, ease of implementation
and familiarity that is remain common. But they are not as
secure and may reach to brute force attach, phishing
attach, where in multifactor authentication helps in
minimizing the rate of online identity theft, phishing
expedition and other online fraud.
1. One Time Password:
A Time-based One Time Password is a unique password
that is valid for certain time period for only single Login
session or transaction, on a mobile application or on a
computer system. One Time Password can be sending in
many ways via email, SMS etc. Here, we are practicing SMS
Gateway which acts as super high priority gateway which
delivers instantly. In this paper, Internet voting system is
getting more secure by use of One Time System .In Internet
Voting System, One Time Password is used every time
prior to the Login System .Thus by this process, Internet
voting System ensures legitimacy.

Figure 2 : One Time Password System
2. Login System:
Login system helps in improving system’s verification,
fairness and authentication. If in any case, a hacker is able
to hack a login system then also he cannot cast any illegal
bullet because every time prior to sign in, he/she has to
enter his registered mobile number and an One Time
Password will cam to that number and when user enter
correct One Time Password then only he/she can go to
Login System of Internet voting system.
III. RELATIVE WORK SOLUTION
By way of this process we will ensure providing secure
services to the internet voting protocol via partitioning the
user data stored in different servers which can be further
improvised using advanced security techniques. Current
models of Internet Voting System are being used only on
dynamic websites which restricts the count of users since
it is not feasible to carry computers or laptops everywhere
hence by creating the web application we can increase the
count of ballots as users can easily vote using this
application on their mobile phones.
Now days, Internet voting Protocol is working on the
concept of cryptography, that is votes of voters is secured
using Encryption and Decryption which is very effective
but at the same time it’s very hectic, time consuming and
tuff to handle storing of Encrypted layers data. In order to
secure votes, a vote has to go under many layers of
encryption and at the same time , for reading the data then
that layers has to go to many decryption layers thus its bit
hectic to deal with this huge data of encryption and
decryption layers and its keys. Therefore, this paper
introduces new technique which helps in replacing the
disadvantage of cryptographic technique and that
technique is Implicit Security Model.
Another way of enhancing security is adopting One Time
Password which is sent via registered email or SMS to the
user. User can access the data only if the correct One Time
Password is entered. The One Time Password is unique
which means the user can access it only once as it
shouldn’t be used again. When a user is asked for One Time
Password to authentication then ideally of typing code in
the screen, user only have to click send button. As user
click on it, the code is sent through your phone to server,
where it will check and then user will allow going for login
page. This One Time Password system, increase Easiness,
Eligibility, Reliability and usability of the system. In other
word, a potential intruder who rule to record a valid one
time password but then also user shouldn’t be able to
abuse it because for a successful one time password
transaction, user must enter a right one time password
from the user mobile devices, thus the mixture of one time
password and unique id (creates on installation time) need
for a successful transaction.
Finally final technology to enhance security is login system
which ensures confidentiality of the system & helps in
maintaining the record of user to fetch individual user
information when needed. When user installs application
on his/her mobile phone, the mobile application generates
a isolated credential ID tried to the user, thus ID is
registered must registered by the admin of application or
by the user themselves.
Once the registration process is done, then for every new
sign in process, user must provide a valid one time
password which will only valid for a min.
IV. PROPOSED MODEL.
D. The proposed model for Client Side is as follows :
Internet voting system is the most commonly used
programme in all counties that's the reason the client side
template has been created so generic and also the usability
is high so that the leman user may also take a advantage
from it without facing any trouble .
1) First of all user have to enter registered mobile
number.
2) An OTP will be sent to registered mobile number
also he can proceed only after inflowing that OTP.
3) If he enters approved OTP, he will be able to
progress and then a login page will appear that will ask for
user’s id and password.
4) User should be able to cast ballot only if he enters
right password
5) Id diverse phases are integrated in this proposed
model such as Registration Phase, Login Phase and many
more that will be done in the conventional manner.

Figure 3 : Secure Model of Internet Voting Protocol
E. The proposed model of Server Side is as follows :
1) Segregate each cast secret ballot into m or more
pieces such that each Server stored one of the piece.
2) This eliminates the worry of entrusting any Server
with all polls and if any one try to cheat by deleting some
of the cast ballots from any server, then the votes should
be recreated using abide partitions.
3) Such a system implicitly provides a back-up for the
votes. Also help in eliminating the process of Cryptography
which is very time consuming.
V. CONCLUSION
In this paper, the proposed technique may be proved
valuable in terms of security; authentication as well as it
will save bandwidth of network as via One Time Password
prior to Login phase will guarantee legitimacy of the user
to a great extent and further Login phase will serve the
security purpose. Also, this paper concludes that our
proposed method of replacing Cryptographic technique by
implicit data storage for securing data leads to load
balancing.
