RSA implementation for data transmission security in BEM chairman E-voting Android based application

Voting is a process that should be do in terms of leadership. In case, voting still use conventional methods which are less effective in terms of cost, governance, and working time. The possibility of calculation errors and fraud in the calculation process can also occur. STMIK Atma Luhur still using the conventional voting method in the election of the chairman of BEM. With the development of today's technology, we can make electronic voting system based on Android to solve the problems of conventional voting. E-voting security becomes fundamental things that must be considered. RSA cryptographic methods can be a solution to ensure the security. RSA choses because it has the advantage of difficulty level in factoring numbers into prime numbers. More difficult factoring the numbers, it will be more difficult to break the encryption. Another advantage is the form of higher security than symmetric algorithm. This algorithm is also resistant to various forms of attack, such as brute force. The security testing are using Wireshark and Eclipse LogCat. The result is the establishment of an e-voting system based on Android that is safe and confidential, so the students can do the voting quickly, whenever and wherever.
