Abstract

Electronic voting is done by recording election data centrally and presenting it into fast digital information. E-voting is an internet technology, which aims to improve the performance of the voting process, and is expected to be a breakthrough in technological development that helps human work. Security constraints in e-voting include the distribution of voting, for example voters who distribute voting rights, are illegitimate and can abuse voters’ rights, because they know the voter’s account to access the system. This study implements cryptographic methods as a password security for voter accounts, and the results of voting, so that the secrecy of the voters’ data and the results of voting are maintained. RSA algorithm to implement cryptographic techniques based on two mathematical problems, namely factorization and modulo operations on composite numbers, which use two different keys for encryption and decryption processes. The public key is used encryption process to encode text, and the private key is used description process, namely translating ciphertext into plaintext.
