Privacy Preserving Tools and Technologies Government Adoption and Challenges

Project Code :TCMAPY1760

Objective

The objective of this project is to design and implement a secure, privacy-preserving Tax Filing System that ensures the confidentiality of sensitive user data throughout the entire process, from submission to processing. The project aims to integrate Homomorphic Encryption (HE) to enable computations on encrypted data, ensuring that sensitive tax information remains private and secure during processing, without the need for decryption. By implementing HE, the system enhances data privacy by protecting personal tax details such as income, deductions, and payments from unauthorized access during computation. The system is designed to improve user trust by providing a transparent and secure platform for tax filing, payment, and complaint management. Additionally, it enables government officials to securely review and respond to tax reports and complaints. Ultimately, the objective is to create an end-to-end secure solution that protects user data, ensuring both the users and government officials can rely on the system for safe and efficient tax management.

Abstract

This project focuses on developing a secure and privacy-preserving Tax Filing System that ensures end-to-end protection of sensitive user data. The existing system utilizes traditional encryption methods (such as SSL/TLS and AES) to secure data during transmission and storage but requires decryption for data processing, which may expose personal information during computation. In the proposed system, Homomorphic Encryption (HE) is integrated, enabling the processing of encrypted data without the need for decryption, thereby preserving privacy throughout the tax filing process. The system consists of two main modules: the User Module, where users can register, log in, pay taxes, view tax history, download receipts, and submit complaints, and the Government Server Module, where government officials can review tax reports, respond to queries, and handle user complaints. By utilizing Homomorphic Encryption, the proposed system ensures that sensitive tax information remains confidential, even during data processing, enhancing both security and user trust in the system.
