Bhople Yogesh Jagannath . A Hash Algorithm based Approach for Verifiability and Detection of EVM Tampering. International Journal of Computer Applications. 184, 3 ( Mar 2022), 1-3. DOI=10.5120/ijca2022921981
A comprehensive and efficient hash algorithm-based approach is proposed to detectthe tampering of Electronic Voting machines (EVM). There are two cases where a particular EVM machine can be tampered. Either embedded program stored in ROM whichis used during the overall voting process can be tampered with to behave maliciously before the start of the casting of votes or Memory Unit (MU) which stores the casted votes can be tampered after the voting ends and before counting .Hash algorithm based solution is provided for both the above-mentioned cases to detect the tampering.
