【Abstract】The traditional FOO e-voting protocols adopt centralized and non-transparent count center, which leads to distrust to the center and doubts the fairness and correctness of the vote. However, blockchain is the most innovative technology in the current era and promises to solve the trust problem in the system with one center. In this paper, an improved FOO e-voting protocol is proposed using blockchain, which tries to address the limitation or weakness in existing systems. The traditional trusted third party is replaced by smart contract; specifically, our scheme is deployed using hyperledger fabric. The implementation is enforced by the consensus mechanism, which ensures the security of the blockchain. Through the analysis, the proposed scheme is proved to satisfy the necessary requirements for an e-voting protocol; meantime the trust assumption is reduced significantly. Therefore, the proposed protocol is more versatile and practical.
