Login and authentication
Django provides robust and secure user authentication, while Python's secrets library guarantees secure token generation for email verification. This ensures that only authorized users can access the system.
Election creation
This information is stored in a JSON manifest, used to generate public-private key pairs. The ElectionGuard SDK providescryptographic security for key generation, guaranteeing the integrity and security of the election configuration.
Candidate and voter management
Django 's database templates facilitate secure and efficient data management, ensuring that candidate and voter information is stored and accessed securely.
Custodian management
Custodian and key management using the ElectionGuard SDK ensures that no single entity can decrypt votes, decentralizing trust and reinforcing security.
Creating smart contracts
Smart contracts on Tezos offer a transparent and immutable record of the election, ensuring that election data is forgery-proof and publicly verifiable.
Opening the election
Ensuring that only verified users can open the election maintains security, while using the ElectionGuard SDK to open the election ensures that election processes are cryptographically secure.
Monitoring and Tracking
Django provides reliable tracking and logging capabilities, ensuring that the election process is transparent and any issues can be promptly addressed.
Election closure and decryption
Homomorphic encryption enables votes to be counted without decrypting individual votes, guaranteeing voter confidentiality. Zero Knowledge Proofs (NIZK) guarantee that the count is correct without revealing any individual votes.
Connection and Authentication
Django provides robust and secure user authentication, while Python's secrets library ensures secure token generation for email verification. This ensures that only authorized users can access the system.

Candidate and Voter Management
Django's database models facilitate secure and efficient data management, ensuring that information about candidates and voters is stored and accessed securely.
Guardian Management
Managing guardians and keys with the ElectionGuard SDK ensures that no single entity can decrypt the votes, decentralizing trust and enhancing security.
Smart Contract Creation
Smart contracts on Tezos provide a transparent and immutable record of the election, ensuring that election data is tamper-proof and publicly verifiable.
Election Opening
Ensuring that only verified users can open the election maintains security, while using the ElectionGuard SDK for opening the election ensures that electoral processes are cryptographically secure.
Monitoring and Tracking
Django provides reliable tracking and logging capabilities, ensuring that the election process is transparent and any issues can be promptly addressed.
Election Closure and Decryption
Homomorphic encryption allows votes to be counted without decrypting individual votes, ensuring voter privacy. Zero Knowledge Proofs (NIZK) ensure that the tally is correct without revealing any individual vote.
Enhanced safety
Multiple defenses
Our technology relies on multiple layers of security to protect the integrity of elections. We use advanced encryption techniques, verification via blockchain and decentralized data storage. Each layer provides an additional barrier against tampering or hacking.
Voting confidentiality
Homomorphic encryption
Homomorphic encryption enables votes to be counted without ever being decrypted. As a result, votes remain encrypted and confidential during the counting process. Only the final total is revealed, ensuring that individual votes remain secret and secure from end to end.
Decentralized key management
No single point of control
In our system, no single entity holds all the keys needed to decrypt votes. Instead, keys are distributed among several trusted participants, known as guardians. Even if a key is compromised, the votes remain secure because all the guardians must work together to decrypt the final total.
Verifiable evidence
Transparency and trust
Every vote and every total is accompanied by verifiable cryptographic evidence. Anyone can check that votes have been correctly encrypted, counted and not falsified. This transparency enables independent verification of the electoral process by any observer.
Unalterable records
Immutable blockchain
Once election data has been recorded on the blockchain, it becomes immutable, i.e. it cannot be modified or deleted. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, creating a secure data chain. Any attempt at modification would be immediately detected, ensuring that election results are permanent and unfalsifiable.
