Designing and developing secure protocol for mobile voting

In recent years, a drastic fall down is being noticed in the Indian general election's voting turnaround. Problem is becoming serious with the nonavailability of a way to let voters cast votes who are residing outside their electionareas. The remote voting procedure for NRI's and Indian army is also not showing significant improvement. Somewhere the issues lie in ease of usage and somewhat lack of trust of current voting procedure. This article tries to solve this issue with the design and development of mobile voting protocol which is not only very easy to use but is also robust, secure and trusted. In this article, we have focused on designing a secure and globally trusted protocol to enable Indian citizens (or any other country's citizens who follows this protocol) to cast vote in their respective country's election via their GSM Mobile Phones from anywhere in the globe irrespective of their physical location. Apart from this, the motive of author is also to extend the usage of information technology to a scheme of GreenElection (Paperless election), addresses the issues of votingproblem in remote, disturb and sensible areas, and to suit the requirement of today's generation who, due to several problems, usually finds it difficult to go for manual vote casting.
