Tianhe Guoyun Technology Obtains Patent for Collusion-Resistant Electronic Voting, Building a Secure and Reliable Voting System

Hunan Tianhe Guoyun Technology Co., Ltd. recently obtained a patent for "Collusion-resistant electronic voting method, system, storage medium, and terminal device," with authorization announcement number CN118487742B, application date July 2024. This patent aims to address security vulnerabilities in traditional electronic voting systems. By introducing blockchain technology, it effectively prevents malicious collusion and node data falsification, ensuring the fairness and security of the voting process.

The patent abstract states that the invention covers collusion-resistant electronic voting methods, systems, storage media, and terminal devices. Its core principle is to divide participants into host nodes, voting nodes, and candidate nodes, and use blockchain technology to achieve transparency and traceability of the voting process.

Specific process:

1. Identity registration and node division: Participants first complete blockchain node identity registration, dividing registered nodes into host nodes, voting nodes, and candidate nodes.

2. Voting information release and time setting: The host node publishes voting information, including voting content, voting start time, and voting end time.

3. Public parameter generation and distribution: Based on the voting deadline, the system automatically generates public parameters and distributes them to voting nodes within the blockchain.

4. Voting information encryption and upload: Voting nodes receive voting messages, complete voting, encrypt voting information using the public key in the public parameters, sign it, and then upload it to the blockchain.

5. Decryption verification and statistics: The host node calculates the decryption key, decrypts the voting information uploaded by the voting nodes using the decryption key. Subsequently, the system statistically analyzes the decrypted voting information to obtain ballot data and verifies signatures and counts. Finally, it packages and uploads the statistical results to the blockchain.

The main advantages of this patent technology are:

• Enhanced data security: Through blockchain technology, all voting records are permanently recorded on the blockchain, allowing anyone to verify them, effectively preventing data tampering and falsification.

• Resolves third-party trust issues: Traditional electronic voting systems often rely on third-party organizations for data management and verification, which can raise trust concerns. This patent technology uses blockchain's distributed ledger technology to manage data in a decentralized manner, eliminating reliance on third-party organizations.

• Effectively prevents malicious collusion: Voting nodes cannot communicate with each other and can only interact through the public blockchain, effectively preventing malicious collusion and cheating.

• Maintains system fairness: All voting records are transparent and traceable, ensuring the fairness and impartiality of the voting process.

This patent technology has vast application prospects, including applications in the following scenarios:

• Government elections: It can enhance the transparency and security of government elections, preventing election fraud and falsification.

• Corporate voting: It can be used for internal voting within enterprises, such as shareholder meetings, employee voting, etc., improving voting efficiency and security.

• Social surveys: It can be used for social surveys, questionnaires, etc., ensuring the authenticity and reliability of survey results.

Tianhe Guoyun Technology's acquisition of this patent marks a significant breakthrough in its electronic voting technology. In the future, it will continue to strive to create secure and reliable electronic voting solutions, promoting the development and application of electronic voting technology, and contributing to the realization of more democratic, fair, and transparent social governance.
