A Practical Anonymous Voting Scheme Based on Blockchain for Internet of Energy

E-voting allows us to build a democratic business in most Internet of things (IoT) systems. For example, we may vote choose proper energy broker smart grid system. In this study, focus on e-voting services an (IoE) system, which is new-style grid. A practical IoE the properties fairness, decentralization, eligibility, anonymity, compatibility, verifiability, and coercion resistance. It difficult fulfil all these simultaneously. Traditional voting schemes often use public bulletin board or administrator process, makes them become centralized. Services that offer via blockchain can make decentralized. However, many ignore complexity organizing data transactions, should be confirmed by miners. Moreover, best authors’ knowledge, no works have tested performance while considering cases constraints. Concerning challenges, propose anonymous scheme for called IoEPAV. The proposed fulfils mentioned design goals We IoEPAV both different test networks Ethereum give overall evaluation. evaluation show easy integrated into real system like IoE. also gave comparison analysis with state-of-the-art blockchain-based e-voting. All results decentralized, verifiable, anonymous, highly efficient.
