Abstract :
In this paper we propose a novel I-voting scheme that allows voters to cast their vote using cloud computing technology. I-voting process comprises a series of cloud services mapping to the voters needs. This method combines both Internet and cryptographic technique. In this scheme the cloud services promising the voters to cast their vote in a secured way. The democracy, privacy, security are the important criteria for evaluating voting schemes. We propose I-voting use private or community cloud that can satisfy all security requirements. The advantage of this scheme is it consumes less time that results in overall speeding up the voting process and also reduce the expenditure for voting process.
