Hello
I had been through a paper on Web based voting system which suggests a method to cast vote online and then encrypt the vote and also add a digital signature to it before being sent to the server. But no details regarding how the keys are generated for signing is mentioned. The diagrams given in the paper suggest that the user is supposed to enter the private key. Can anyone suggest some secure method to generate pair of keys for digitally signing data??

But how is it possible that both private and public key be random numbers. They must have a relation. Isn't it?

in that case, you can use client's machine keys itself

yeah, what details you want?

you can use ssh keys of the person. they are unique as they can be and come in pair. You can have public key and match his private key during authentication

Perhaps you need to read about Digital Signatures and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Pretty Good Privacy</a> first.
