The Electronic ID and the Voting Admission using a Cell Phone

This paper proposes a personal identification method using a cell phone to improve the function of ID cards and also proposes the application to the electronic voting admission. The method is called as the electronic ID using a cell phone. The personal identification data are stored in the server. Each user receives the data from the server on each cell phone. The cell phone displays the text data (name, affiliation, etc.), face images and a two-dimensional symbol. The examiner checks the displayed information by using the examiner’s terminal computer. The mechanism uses message authentication and encryption to establish the security among the server, the cell phone and the examiner’s terminal. The mechanism of the proposed electronic ID can be applied to the electronic voting admission for improving the current voting admission system in the election of the national or local government. The proposed voting admission can improve the services for voters and decrease the cost for voting admission remarkably
