Fault-Tolerant Architecture Design for Blockchain-Based Electronics Voting System

Abstract

With an emergence of distributed ledger technology, decentralization and integrity in information storage offer an opportunity to preserve data in electronic voting systems. An inevitable challenge in e-voting system implementation is the tradeoff between system security and generality in design. Leveraging container technology along with blockchain technology, this paper proposes a system design architecture to deliver data security and agility in system integration. The design was further analyzed and assessed by measuring the utilization of computing resources and conducting performance test as to validate that the aforementioned requirements were met.
