Abstract

This study pioneers an innovative approach to fortifying online voting systems, leveraging RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) encryption and decryption techniques for robust data protection. Through a comprehensive amalgamation of advanced security layers, including MobileFaceNet-driven face verification, device fingerprint matching, and multi-factor authentication, this system engenders a resilient shield against cyber vulnerabilities. By harnessing a Firebase database, user information is securely stored and authenticated, affirming their pivotal role in the democratic process. The symphony of RSA encryption and decryption orchestrates a formidable fortress around data transmission and storage, ensuring impregnable security against digital threats. This paradigm shift in voting technology strives to not only elevate security but also enhance accessibility and convenience, ultimately contributing to the evolution of online voting systems and fostering greater participation rates and reducing associated costs in the digital era.
