Abstract

Online communication is one of the common means of communication in this era of globe village. As the number of people being connected to online communication system through their mobile phone, computer or any other e-communication tools increases, there is need to secure the communication networks from adversaries (third parties) between the sender and receivers. There are many aspects to security approach in online communication environment. One essential aspect for secure communications is that of cryptography, which is the focus of this research. This research work aims at designing and implementing cryptosystem using a simple polyalphabetic cipher algorithm. The algorithm was coded with Java programming language. It was discovered that cryptography system with polyalphabetic cipher algorithm is better compared to Atbash cipher, Scytale cipher, Ceasar cipher etc, because it is very difficult for adversaries to decrypt an encrypted data without the key.

Abstract

Voter registration helps to facilitate the credibility of the electoral process by preventing multiple voting as each person is only allowed to register once. One out of many causes of disenfranchisement of register voter is the failure to transfer their Voter Registration from one place to another when the case arises. That scenario has led to multiple registrations which is a criminal offense in Nigeria context. This research work is to address the difficulty involved in Voter Card Transfer. We design embedded application software proposed to be integrated into the INEC existing website. A flowchart was designed using the procedure for Voter Register Transfer in the INEC website. The prototype of the application was coded with C++. It was tested to meet the demands and objective of the study.
