Authentication for Online Voting Using Steganography and Biometrics
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer Engineering & Technology(IJARCET) - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 10
Abstract
In this paper an online voting authentication technique is proposed which provides biometric as well as password security to voter accounts. Voters are first identified by their facial image by using PCA. Second step is the fingerprint recognition. Third one is steganographic method. The basic idea of strganographic method is to merge the secret key and pin number with the cover image which produces a stego image which looks same as the cover image. The cover image is a biometric measure, such as a fingerprint image. The secret key and pin number is extracted from the stego image at the server side to perform the voter authentication function. This system greatly reduces the risks as the hackers have to find the secret key, pin number, fingerprint and facial image, which makes the election procedure to be secure against a variety of fraudulent behaviors. SHA 256 used for hashing is replaced with MD5 in order to improve the speed
