Fìz.-mat. model. ìnf. tehnol. 2021, 33:40-44

Abstract

The work examines the phenomenon of electronic voting and advantages and disadvantages of such systems. Particular attention is paid to the electronic voting systems that use block chain technologies in their scheme. The purpose of the publication is to create a theoretical model of the electronic voting system, which will include all stages of the elections. In this work, a study and analysis of the existing electronic voting systems were carried out, the requirements for the creation of electronic voting systems were substantiated. Possible attacks on both conventional electronic voting systems and options using the block chain were given. The advantages of the work include theoretical and practical models, comparison and study of possible attacks on various types of electronic voting systems.
