Abstract
Electronic voting systems have the potential to improve traditional voting
procedures by providing added convenience and flexibility to the
voter. Numerous electronic voting schemes have been proposed in the past, but
most of them have failed to provide voter authentication in an efficient and
transparent way. On the other hand, GSM (Global System for Mobile
communications) is the most widely used mobile networking standard. There are
more than one billion GSM users worldwide that represent a large user
potential, not just for mobile telephony, but also for other mobile
applications that exploit the mature GSM infrastructure. In this paper, an
electronic voting scheme using GSM mobile technology is presented. By
integrating an electronic voting scheme with the GSM infrastructure, we are
able to exploit existing GSM authentication mechanisms and provide enhanced
voter authentication and mobility while maintaining voter privacy
