Enhancing Election Security Through Blockchain: An In-Depth Study of Encrypted NFTs and Smart Contracts
摘要
This paper presents a blockchain-based framework designed to address current challenges in electoral systems, including security vulnerabilities, transparency issues, and inefficiencies. By integrating blockchain technology, smart contracts, encrypted Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), and the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), our system aims to enhance the security, transparency, and operational efficiency of voting processes. Through a detailed evaluation across four EVM-compatible blockchain platforms-Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Fantom, and Celo-we assess the adaptability, performance, and economic efficiency of the proposed system. The study reveals potential benefits in using blockchain technology to manage voting records effectively, providing a secure, accessible, and efficient solution for contemporary electoral challenges.
