Votechain

IDEA

A simple web based app for utilizing the power of blockchain in a secured way which provides ability to vote with/without availability of the internet connectivity.

1. With the use of azure blockchain and deployment of smart-contracts a simple web-app can be made with other dependencies like web3 or with the provided swagger-api or with azure blockchain workbench which can be used with internet connectivity present.

2. The other part(without internet connectivity) is be covered with the help of raspberry pi and creation of local server in the area where the network connectivity is not present. In this case the votes given by the people is stored in the distributive single node ethereum and transferred to main network when it comes in contact with internet.

3. Two Factor Authentication With AES and SHA512 Encryption which allow users to register with a device and a pin and login through that specific combination of pin and Device Hardware descriptor.
