Fortaleciendo la Democracia Desafíos y Soluciones en la Seguridad de los Sistemas de Votación Electrónicos

Abstract

The article provides a detailed analysis on the secure implementation of electronic voting systems, highlighting their role as a fusion of democracy and technology that offers efficiency and convenience to voters around the world. However, it is noted that security is an ongoing concern due to physical and cyber threats. In this regard, cryptographic and authentication measures implemented to protect the integrity of election data are examined, as well as physical protection strategies to prevent hardware tampering and interference in the electoral process. In addition, the integration of blockchain technology is proposed as an innovative measure to strengthen the trust and integrity of the electoral process by providing a secure and verifiable record of every vote cast. By leveraging the immutability and transparency of blockchain technology, public confidence in election results is ensured. Ultimately, it is concluded that the combination of technical, physical measures and the integration of blockchain technology offers a comprehensive approach to address security challenges in electronic voting systems, thereby strengthening modern democracy.
