It provides a tamper-proof distributed ledger which ensures integrity and authentication, as well as eliminates the need of a centralized trusted authority. This results in a secure and trusted system observed by the public. Although the blockchain was first applied to cryptocurrencies (which resulted in bitcoin), the features it provides are desirable for several other applications. In this paper, we develop a blockchain-based solution for securely digitizing the voting process. Election process is an important test of democracy and rigging the election may have disastrous consequences. Through our solution, we aim to provide a platform for voters to cast their vote securely online, from their home. The votes will be published in the blockchain, which will be observable by everyone. This would result in a tamper-proof ballot system which would be impossible to manipulate. The anonymity of voters will be maintained. We aim to apply this in the Indian context. We further show how our system meets the requirement of an online voting system, and how it resolves the issues present in current as well as proposed systems for the same.","PeriodicalId":292408,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Nascent Technologies in Engineering (ICNTE)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123051886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, this value depends upon the type of crop under consideration. This balance of pH and moisture of soil can lead to higher productivity rates. This work presents development of simple system which measures pH and moisture value of soil. This data acquired is further used to maintain the desired level through use of actuation system. Typical of actuation system used to monitor the supply of Sulphur etc. and water for maintaining pH and moisture level in soil. The desired level of pH and moisture in soil will be set as per the need for the crop to be cultivated from soil under consideration. The case presented in this paper is for cultivating tomato crop in soil. This particular crop need pH=6.0 to 6.8 and moisture required 4-7mm/hr. The control of these two parameters is expected to give better yield of crops. For this the microcontroller based embedded system is devised. The sensors are connected to a microcontroller in which the program of control actions according to the plant/crop is burned. This microcontroller then controls the flow control valve to adjust the required amount of flow of the chemicals and water. Thus the proposed system lays the news avenue for its use in agriculture and similar kinds of application.","PeriodicalId":292408,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Nascent Technologies in Engineering (ICNTE)","volume":"424 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124219145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
