CASE STUDY

Implementation of an electronic ballot box for managing the entire voting flow for administrative elections of an agency

Stage 1 | Set-Up

OTP submittal: each registered voter receives a unique (anonymous) key created via QR-code and proceeds with the subsequent registration.

User Generation: an account is created on the Blockchain, called "wallet" to allow subsequent voting and verification operations. 

Wallet initialization: the agency’s wallet is created and filled with the necessary cryptocurrency (voting fund) which is transferred to all wallets registered in the previous stage to allow future voting.

Stage 2 | Voting

Vote opening: the agency starts the voting process by calling up the smart contract for voting. The user, after having received the notification on the wallet, votes.

Vote: voting calls for the encryption of the chosen list with the public key of the agency and subsequent writing on the blockchian of the encrypted vote.

Voting collection: voting collection shows a method (API) of the smart contract solely to the agency to learn in real time the number of voters who voted.

Vote closing: The agency calls up a private smart contract method to end the vote collection process. At this stage it will be possible to know how many voters voted.

Stage 3 | Ballot

Vote decryption: the encrypted information (individual votes) is decrypted with the private key of the vote (secret) and finally the vote is written in plain text on the ballot's smart contract. Ballot: the ballot process (smart contract) requires the real-time calculation of the voting results.

Verification: each voter, through the ballot smart contract, will be able to call up the methods to know the ballots in real time.

Publication of Results: the voting ends with the publication of the results

CASE STUDY

1 | The landowner

The landowner with the b-supply app on his/her smartphone, registers his/her vineyard.

2 | The agronomist and the farmer

The agronomist and the farmer record the treatments carried out on the vineyards, with or without additional documents.

3 | The harvest and the weighing of the grapes

The harvest and the weighing of the grapes are also registered and certified on the Blockchain.

4 | The lab analysis

The lab analysis records the results and certifies the fingerprint on the Blockchain through b-supply.

5 | An inspector

An inspector (e.g. from the Consortium for the Protection of Wine) examines the certified production process and in turn records the certification.e.

6 | The producer

The producer sells the wine batches to retailers and the respective tokens are transferred, guaranteeing the transfer of ownership and anti-counterfeiting of the product.

7 | The consumer

The consumer, through the b-supply app, reads the bottle label to discover its full background story, from glass to the vineyards that produced it. b-signature

CASE STUDY

Five different companies share the need to co-sign a
partnership agreement to participate in a public
tender

2 | Identity and signature

The parties access b-signature, identifying themselves and signing the certified document in a safe and secure manner

3 | Identity and signature at different times

The partnership is joined, at different times by three other companies that sign the agreement through B-Signature

4 | Validity Check

The tender committee verifies the validity of the document and signatures through b-signature or directly from the appropriate Blockchain public tool
