The applicability of Blockchain cryptography on elections as electoral process and democracy guarantee

Abstract

Human development has always been guided by the constant search for the creation or improvement of the practices to expand the possibilities of human performance. ln the midst of this developmental reality is that the internet and virtualization appear as a factor of intense transformation of human interactions, occurring a process of political, monetary and cultural empowerment of the individual man considered. Tbis new social perspective of man impacts the old power structures, requiring greater participation and certification by the individual, being possible through Internet applications and cryptographic protocols such as Blockchain. By means of these it is possible to hold elections in which validation is carried out by all voters, thus ensuring a clean electoral process and ensuring the vote of each voter. More than electoral process, this reality impacts on the freedom of the vote and the constitutional order, taking place a change of the political culture. Tbe study is carried out by the hypothetical deductive method, with bibliographical review and comparative analysis of Brazil and other countries.
