Inventor(s) include Dr. K. Vimala; and Dr. K. Devikarani Dhivya.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A Biometric Fingerprint and Cryptography-Based Secure Electronic Voting System The present invention discloses a biometric cryptography-based electronic voting system (1) designed to ensure secure, transparent, and fraud-resistant elections. The system integrates fingerprint-based voter authentication using a fingerprint scanner (10) with cryptographic data protection through an AES encryption module (18). Voter and candidate data are registered via an administrator registration module (12) and stored securely in an encrypted database (20). During voting, a voter authentication module (14) verifies biometric identity in real time and grants access to a voting interface (22) for casting a single vote. The core voting system (16) enforces session control to prevent duplicate voting. An automated tally and results module (24) computes election outcomes, while an administrator access and decryption module (26) enables authorized result declaration. The invention provides a standalone, secure, and privacy-preserving electronic voting framework suitable for institutional and governmental elections."
