A Comparative Analysis of Blockchain Technologies for Secure Electronic Voting Systems
摘要
In this paper, we study three most popular blockchain platforms (Ethereum, EOS.IO, and HyperLedger 2.0) regarding creating secure electronic voting systems. Based on the requirements of electronic voting, we compare the fundamental architectural differences, security features, scalability capabilities, and performance metrics of the platforms. The research focuses on the critical aspects of voter privacy, transaction throughput, consensus mechanism, and smart contract functionality for a robust voting system. We evaluate the strengths and limitations of each platform through experimental implementation, comparative analysis, and real-world case studies, and discuss their suitability for large-scale voting applications. Additionally, we address the legal and ethical implications of blockchain-based voting systems, providing a comprehensive framework for decision-makers considering blockchain technology for electoral processes.
