Propuesta de Diseño de un Prototipo de Red Blockchain Aplicado a un Ejercicio Electoral a Nivel Colombia, Midiendo Impactos y Beneficios.

Abstract

In this degree project the emphasis is mainly on blockchain technology with an emphasis on basic information, including its operation and a complete study of one of the most important uses of this technology, such as the presidential elections. This document will emphasize its management at the national level. The design of the network has a great scalability due to the fact that there is access to voting by around 40 million people and its equivalent for a network implementation to cover 100% of users nationwide, in addition to citizens. Those who are abroad will also have the option to vote; it is clear that it is a totally different method from the traditional means of voting. This project explains the 3 most important voting methods in the world, emphasizing their advantages and disadvantages, as well as the countries that use these voting methods and comparing the 3 methods in order to specify the benefits of applying a method. Voting with blockchain technology in our country. Every voting method has an important part of management, prior and subsequent processes, in which the management, phases and stages that must be met, the best way to carry it out, and how it relates to and complements the technical solution will be explained in detail. In a single system. The chapter of this thesis on the design of voting management and the chapter on the technical solution are related to make a complete voting system based on blockchain technology, which is proposed as a technological alternative to develop and contemplate for elections to national level, where the structure of the elections is not affected, and following the rights and duties that are regulated in the country's constitution, also highlighting and respecting the characteristics of a vote, such as secret ballot and knowledge of the results at the end elections, also providing new features with this system such as transparency, traceability, privacy, etc. All this technical analysis will be accompanied by a financial analysis of the cost of the solution and implementation. For service, security and benefits, the cost analysis is chosen and performed on AWS, that is, the implementation of this voting system and the financial analysis of this system is performed on AWS. Taking into account all of the above and how new the core technology is for the development of this thesis, which, as it has been named, is blockchain, important points are recommended to take into account so that the entire system as it is intended is successful.
