Abstract

E-voting requires entrance of large numbers of citizens simultaneously in a relatively small time. This may cause slowness or unavailability of the service in the worst case. Authentication of large-scale e-voting is still an issue that needs more security and privacy. Moreover, there are many developments in the internet culminating to internet-of-things and anticipating reaching to Tactile Internet with fifth generation (5G) mobile networks. However, implementing e-voting according to this new technology imposes many challenges. This paper presents a proposed authentication architecture that assumes the existence of Tactile Internet as a futuristic infrastructure and the blockchain as a solution for maintaining security. The proposed architecture technically provides two modes of operation: mobile phone and virtual reality (VR) lenses. The gained results of e-voting authorization are proved to be applicable with higher accuracy.
