AegisVote Cryptographic Architecture

Security & Zero-Knowledge Protocol

AegisVote 2.0 is engineered around a zero-trust model. Identities are cryptographically decoupled from cast choices, ensuring unforgeable elections and complete voter privacy.

1. Zero-Knowledge Decoupling

In traditional voting tools, a user record points to a vote row. In AegisVote, VoterStatus tracks double-vote prevention while Vote records an anonymous choice payload with zero database relation or foreign key.

Relational Path: User ➔ VoterStatus [CHECKED] | Vote [DECOUPLED]

2. FIDO2 / WebAuthn Biometrics

AegisVote natively integrates WebAuthn hardware passkeys (Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello, YubiKey). Biometric data never leaves the voter device; authentication happens via public-key challenge/response.

Standard: W3C WebAuthn Level 3 • Replay Counter Enabled

3. End-to-End Cryptographic Receipts

Upon submitting a ballot, a SHA-256 receipt hash is generated. Voters can copy their receipt or scan a QR code to verify inclusion in the immutable tally at any time without exposing their vote selection.

4. Immutable Organization Audit Trail

Every operational state transition (election publish, voter roll alteration, org verification) is cryptographically stamped into the immutable AuditLog ledger with actor ID, IP address, and timestamp.

Audit Ledger: Append-Only Immutable Records
