dc.description.abstract | The growth of computers and information technology over the last few years has been explosive.
Computers have become necessities in virtually every area of modern life; they have brought vast benefits
to fields as diverse as space exploration, artificial intelligence and a host of applications from trivial to the
most life enhancing. The trend has caught on in the voting industry and E-voting systems have been
developed to complement the traditional methods of voting. However, most people have refused to
embrace the e-voting systems blindly and are questioning the security of the systems.
This project identifies the challenges of implementing e-voting systems, proposes and designs a secure e-voting
system prototype using Kenya's general elections as the test bed and describes how the proposed
system should be implemented. | en |
