Abstract

Rapid growth of computer networks and advances in cryptographic techniques allow new approaches of electronic voting systems. In this research, we present a System-on-Programmable-Chip crypto-bridge module that enables secure ethernet point-to-point connections between electronic ballot boxes and the remote host of the central electoral office through insecure Ethernet networks. The proposed crypto-bridge is implemented using reconfigurable devices, and two implementations are presented: a single channel module and multi-channel module. HDL source code of the AES cipher, Ethernet MAC controller and tiny processor embedded in the crypto-bridge is public and open enforcing the confidence in the system.
