ONLINE VOTING SYSTEM POWERED BY BIOMETRIC SECURITY USING STEGANOGRAPHY
ABSTRACT
Using Cryptography and Steganography at the same time, we try to provide Biometric as well as Password security to voter accounts. The scheme uses images as cover objects for Steganography and as keys for Cryptography. The key image is a Biometric measure, such as a fingerprint image.
Proper use of Cryptography greatly reduces the risks in these systems as the hackers have to find both secret key and the template. The basic idea is to merge the secret key with the cover image on the basis of key image.
The result of this process produces a stego image which looks quite similar to the cover image but not detectable by human eye. The system targets the authentication requirement of a voting system.

ABSTRACT
Using Cryptography and Steganography at the same time, we try to provide Biometric as well as Password security to voter accounts. The scheme uses images as cover objects for Steganography and as keys for Cryptography. The key image is a Biometric measure, such as a fingerprint image. Proper use of Cryptography greatly reduces the risks in these systems as the hackers have to find both secret key and the template. The basic idea is to merge the secret key with the cover image on the basis of key image. The result of this process produces a stego image which looks quite similar to the cover image but not detectable by human eye. The system targets the authentication requirement of a voting system.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Integrity of the election process will determine the integrity of democracy itself. So the election system must be secure and robust against a variety of fraudulent behaviors, should be transparent and comprehensible that voters and candidates can accept the results of an election. But in history, there are examples of elections being manipulated in order to influence their outcome. In a voting system, whether electronic or using traditional paper ballots, the system should meet the following criteria: Anonymity, Tamper-resistant, Human factors
PROPOSED SYSTEM
In this paper we have presented a method for integrating cryptography and steganography. The strength of our system resides in the new concept of key image. We are also able to change the cover coefficients randomly. This strategy does not give any chance to steganalytic tools of searching for a predictable set of modifications. Also, considering the complexity of elections, we have provided sufficient proof of authenticity of an individual in form of both biometric measures and secret key.

There are some pre-requisites to support such a system. Firstly, each and every individual in the country should be provided with a Personal Identification Number, such as SSN (Social Security numbers) in some countries. This is needed for maintenance of voter accounts in the database. Secondly, we need Thumb Impressions (fingerprint images) of all the individuals. Thirdly, during the account creation every individual will be provided with a system generated Secret key which he/she should not disclose to anybody. This will be needed to cast the vote.
2. User
To cast a vote, a voter logs in to the system by entering the personal identification number and secret key. Along with this voter has to give the thumb impression on the fingerprint sensor. The system will generate the cover image and embed the secret key into it according to the predefined procedure to generate the stego image. Now this stego image will be sent securely to the server for voter authentication.
sir
plz me the total abstract form of online voting system using biometric security using steganography...plz
i want documentation of online voting powered by biometrics using stegenography project please provide me download link of whole documentation
i want the report and ppt of this topic
