Online franchise capturing using IPv6 through Automated Teller Machines

This paper aims at realization and implementation of an online voting that could be implemented in Automated Teller Machine (ATM) using IPv6. All ATMs are now currently in a private network of their respective bank servers. If it is possible to transform them into IPv6, they enter into a new domain of public networking. Also there is a possibility of many security related threats when these transformations are successfully deployed in all ATM terminals. A basic solution would be to distribute prior to the configuration of ATM terminals, the digital certificates of both bank and election commission servers. This would almost make impossible for others to intrude and disturb the transaction established by the ATM terminals between the bank or election commission servers. The number of transactions between the election commission server and the ATM terminals that will be required in case of the current scenario of routing all transactions through national financial switch (NFS) would reduce by at least half. Also additional encryption mechanisms established ensure secure state of these transactions. The two phases of transactions, the voter registration and online voting[1] aims at making entire process of franchise capturing automated.
