  Abstract

Ethereum is an open-source, public, block chain-based distributed computing platform and operating system featuring smart contract functionality. In this paper, we proposed an Ethereum based electronic voting (e-voting) protocol, Ques-Chain, which can ensure the authentication can be done without hurting confidentiality and the anonymity can be protected without problems of scams at the same time. Furthermore, the authors considered the wider usages Ques-Chain can be applied on, pointing out that it is able to process all kinds of messages and can be used in all fields with similar needs.
