Abstract:
The e-government paradigm became an essential path for governments to reach citizens and businesses
and to improve service and public performance. One of the important tools used in political and administrative
venues is e-voting, where ICT tools are used to facilitate the process of voting for electing
representatives and making decisions. The integrity and image of such applications won?t be maintained
unless strict measures on security and authenticity are applied. This chapter explores the e-voting process,
reviews the authentication techniques and methods that are used in this process and proposed in
the literature, and demonstrates few cases of applying e-voting systems from different countries in the
world. Conclusions and proposed future work are stated at the end of the chapter.
