Ques-Chain: an Ethereum Based E-Voting System
This addresses secure and anonymous electronic voting for users in blockchain applications, but appears incremental as it builds on existing Ethereum smart contract technology.
The authors proposed Ques-Chain, an Ethereum-based e-voting protocol that ensures authentication without compromising confidentiality and protects anonymity while preventing scams. They also noted its broader applicability to various message types and fields with similar needs.
Ethereum is an open-source, public, blockchain-based distributed computing platform and operating system featuring smart contract functionality. In this paper, we proposed an Ethereum based eletronic voting (e-voting) protocol, Ques-Chain, which can ensure the authentication can be done without hurting confidentiality and the anonymity can be protected without problems of scams at the same time. Furthermore, the authors considered the wider usages Ques-Chain can be applied on, pointing out that it is able to process all kinds of messages and can be used in all fields with similar needs.
