Performance Evaluation of modified Stegano-Cryptographic model for Secured E-voting

Abstract

In this paper, we present the performance evaluation of modified stegano-cryptographic model of secured electronic voting. This was achieved by the adoption of RSA and ECC cryptosystems for platform adaptable cryptography and an Improved LSB image spatial Algorithm and Wavelet video frequency for multi-domain and multimedia steganography. The model was evaluated by using StegSecret and StegDetect Steganalytic detectors for detecting and launching brute-force attack as well as dictionary attacks against stego objects and full reference objective assessment of spatial stego image using Structural Similarity Index Metric (SSIM).The result of the qualitative evaluations of the model show that the model is an imperceptible and robust e-voting model and therefore can serve as platform for the delivery of credible, fair and transparent future e-democratic decision making in developing countries with significant digital divides.
