Centralized Voting System

-

      Centralized Voting System (CVS) is a web-based application that ensures a faster, more convenient and more secure method of voting and the final vote calculation. The voting system currently being used is electronic ballot system, which is fast and convenient to vote, but provide less security and cannot be integrated easily to provide the final result quickly. It takes time to bring the results from the constituencies together to obtain the final result. CVS solves this problem by introducing a centralized system in which the vote calculated in each polling booth is automatically updated in a central database which can only be accessed by the administrator and helps the user view the final result in the site or as an SMS in his mobile phone which could be send by the administrator. The main attraction of this application is the method by which the voter logs into his account. Other than the traditional user ID and password, an image of his face is taken and checked with the data stored in the system. This increases the security and eliminates any means of forgery of votes. CVS does not consider any case of illegal or invalid vote, because there simply isn’t any way that such conditions could arise. As long as the login is performed correctly, there isn’t any way that each vote casted doesn’t count. To eliminate any threats from anybody accessing the database, CVS also uses an encryption algorithm which encrypts the password before it is stored in the database. The voter cannot vote more than once.

A voting system doesn’t get any more secure and faster than CVS with all these functionalities incorporated into it. It can be used for any type of election process- from a community polling to a nationwide election such as the Assembly elections. This system is having high level of portability, reliability and robustness. The final result can be easily obtained because of the centralized nature of the system.

Difference between "diff" and "sdiff" commands in Unix

Hi everyone, in this blog post, I will be discussing about the difference between "diff" and "sdiff" commands in Unix. This is my first post about Unix. diff command diff command will compare two files and prints the difference between the 2 files. The format of diff command is diff file1 file2 . sdiff command sdiff command will compare two files side by side. The format of sdiff command is sdiff file1 file2. The contents of files are displayed side by side with a marker denoting the difference between each files. Some of the important markers used in sdiff are as follows: | - denotes the 2 files differ in the line completely. < - only the first file contains the line. > - only the second file contains the line. The better way to depict the difference is by showing examples. Here, I am comparing 2 files which are named as " ipl_teams_2008.txt " and " ipl_teams_2015.txt ". Let's see the contents of the files. ...

Important annotations used in Hibernate

-
Hi everyone, in this blogpost, I am discussing about some of the important annotations used in Hibernate. Following are some of the important annotations: - @Entity - @Entity specifies that the class is marked as an entity bean . @Table -  @Table is used to specify the table for persisting data. The optional attributes of the table annotation is ' name ' and ' schema ' which specifies both the name and schema of the table respectively. Other attributes are ' unique constraints ' which specifies the unique constraints that are to be placed on the table and ' catalog ' which specifies the catalog of the table. @Id - @Id specifies the identifier property of the entity bean. It is like a primary key of the table. The mapped column for primary key of the entity is assumed to be primary key of the primary table. If no column annotation is specified, the primary key column is assumed to be the name of primary key property or field. @Column - @C...

Anonymous classes in C++

-
Anonymous Classes in C++ Anonymous class is a class with no name. The main advantage of using an anonymous class is that it provides reusability of the class. Also anonymous class helps in encapsulation of data. Anonymous class is basically used when only one instance of the class is needed and it has only a short body. By defining an anonymous class, it does the same steps of defining a local class and instantiating it. The anonymous class is rightly used after it is defined. Following specifies an example of anonymous class in C++. class { int a; } c1; Here, c1 is an object of the anonymous class. Usually, anonymous classes in C++ are defined using "typedef" ( a keyword to assign alternative names to existing types). Typedef helps in giving another name to the class. It is shown as below: typedef class { int a; } newclass; newclass c2; Here newclass is the object of the anonymous class and c2 is its instance. Member variables can also be initialized in ano...
