DESCRIPTION:
An embedded system is a special-purpose system in which the computer is completely
encapsulated by or dedicated to the device or system it controls. Unlike a general-purpose
computer, such as a personal computer, an embedded system performs one or a few predefined
tasks, usually with very specific requirements. Since the system is dedicated to specific tasks,
design engineers can optimize it, reducing the size and cost of the product. Embedded systems are
often mass-produced, benefiting from economies of scale.
The Smart Card Reader is an electronic device that reads smart cards. Communication is
done via protocols and you can read and write to a fixed address on the card.
The main objective of this project is anti-rigging voting system which is implemented using
smart card technology. A smart card is used as a voter id card which provides authentication and
identification for a person. In this project microcontroller is used which forms the control unit.
Every citizen of India is given with a smart card. Whenever user wants to vote he needs to insert his
smart card in smart card reader while voting. Then the voter is asked to vote for his favorite
candidate through keypad. So, user need to press the key corresponding to his favorite candidate.
This system even allows the election commission to see the no. of votes given for each candidate
and is displayed in LCD which got interfaced to microcontroller.
This project finds its place in places where one wants to provide authentication with great
security.
TECHNOLOGY:
Smart cards are secure tokens that have provided security services to a wide range
of applications for over thirty years. Along with other technology advances, smart card technology
has changed dramatically as well. For nearly a decade, researchers have sought to connect smart
cards to the Internet. The benefits are more including providing services over the Internet and
eliminating smart card specific infrastructure.

4. Development of Anti-Rigging Voting System Using Smart Card Technology
A smart card is an integrated circuit card that forms a part of a circuit or
system when engaged with a smart card interface. Smart cards are becoming increasingly more
popular for security and personal identification applications. Smart cards have one or more
microcontrollers embedded in them which manage access to, and storage of, sensitive data that is
actually stored in memory devices on the smart card. The smart chip included on a smart card
provides a means for secured electronic transactions and a means for identification. The integrated
chip is embedded in the smart card and operates to process specific transactions. The smart card
uses a serial interface and receives its power from an external source such as a smart card reader.
