Abstract
Recently, many countries around the world including Korea (Rep. of) have actively introduced online voting using distributed ledger technology (e.g. blockchain). However, online voting using distributed ledger technology based on the widely deployed telecommunication/ICT infrastructure. There is insufficient analysis of potential security threats. In this paper, we suggest a model for online voting system using distributed ledger technology and propose countermeasures by analyzing the security threats that may occur in online voting process in terms of information security.
