Conference Proceedings ; Democracy has been transformed by the introduction of ICT, which is known as e-voting. E-voting is the use of computerised equipment to cast votes. Mvoting is a subset of e-voting and is the use of mobile phones to cast a vote outside the restricted electoral boundaries. M-voting has a feature that is different from other e-voting solutions: the mobile-phone. Mobile-phones are pervasive; they offer connection everywhere at any time. However, using a fast growing device such as mobile-phone as a tool to cast a vote can raise questions when coming to its security. This paper designed and developed a security solution termed a cloud intrusion detection and prevention system which endeavours to secure the voters' mobile phone while casting their vote. The security system was developed using android version 6.0 for android phones and MySQL. Simulations were used to evaluate the system and results indicate that the proposed system is efficient, reliable and secure.

Published Conference Proceedings ; Mobile government is gaining significant attention worldwide. Mobile phone penetration offers government a number of opportunities, including offering governments services to citizens via these ambiguous devices. This phenomenon called m-Government is a strategy which involves the use of all kinds of wireless and mobile technologies, applications and devices for improving service delivery to the parties involved in m-Government including citizens, businesses and all government divisions. The main aim of the study is to develop a mobile Government Maturity Model that can be used as an assessment tool to evaluate mobile services offered by government departments. This study examined the benefits offered by mobile government and also conducted an in-depth literature review on mobile government maturity models. Maturity models that have been developed by other researchers were translated, interpreted, compared and synthesized and a new mobile government maturity model is proposed. The new maturity model is contextualized for the Free State government in South Africa.
