Nuevas tecnologías en procesos informáticos seguros aplicando Blockchain en sistemas electorales en la ciudad de Ambato

Abstract

Computer processes have required a significant evolution in aspects of new security methods due to the vulnerabilities that can arise and, consequently, the constant attacks on computer systems. This is where the idea of implementing new ways to strengthen security in transactional processes arises, and blockchain is considered a viable option due to its solid and immutable structure. An example of the application of this technology can be found in cryptocurrency transactions. The goal of the research project is to shed light on the reliability, structuring, functionality, and role of blockchain technology in computer systems. This will be achieved through the development of a proposal for an educational voting system where the security provided by its basic structure is verifiable. In this case, the electoral system ensures that transactions or votes exercised enter a network known as the blockchain, and each transaction is integrated to form a complete network. The project focuses on verifying and ensuring the integrity of data, and demonstrates how the integration of blockchain technology with a student voting system can provide the level of reliability required for secure transactions.
