A METHODICAL LITERATURE REVIEW OF THE BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY AND IMPLEMENTATION OF DECENTRALIZED ELECTRONIC POLLING SYSTEM USING ETHEREUM

Abstract

In the review, we have performed a methodical mapping of Blockchain-based research across the multifaceted realm. We aimed at studying the prevailing research perspectives, obstacles and upcoming considerations related to Blockchain from a technological point of view to underline the role of this disruptive technology in the current sci-tech ecosystem. For this purpose, the hypothetical fundamentals of countless work published in reputed scientific publications in the past ten years, are integrated into this paper. In accordance with the structured, methodical review and thorough study of the recognized literature, An extensive taxonomy of Blockchain based research in various domains like security, usability, privacy, smart contracts, throughput, latency, wasted-resources, broadcast protocol, and trustworthiness is being presented, and we adopt key presentations, directions, and originating research areas. Developing on the evaluations, we discovered various unexplored research topics and future prospecting indications that are expected to be of substantial value both for theoreticians and professionals. We have also implemented a decentralized polling system using Ethereum Blockchain.
