Face Base Online Voting System Using Steganography

Abstract — In this paper a Face Detection and Recognition system used as an Authentication technique in online voting, which is same as electronic voting, is proposed. Web based voting allows the voter to vote from any location in state or out of state. The voter’s image is captured and sends toward the face recognition to algorithm (Eigen face) which is used to detect his face from the image and save it as the first matching point. The voter’s National identification card number is used to retrieve and return his saved photo from the database of the Supreme Council elections which is passed to the same recognition algorithm (Eigen face) to recognize the face from it and save it as second matching point. The two matching points (i.e. two images) are used by a recognition algorithm to check the image is same or not. If recognition algorithm result are two point match then checks wither this person has the right to vote or not and at the same time using Cryptography and Steganography we try to provide Password Security to Voter account
