🗳️ Secure Voting System — Java RMI

A university distributed systems project implementing a secure remote voting system using Java RMI (Remote Method Invocation). Demonstrates client-server architecture, session management, and secure access control.

✨ Features

• Ticket-based Authentication — server issues unique tickets per voting session
• Session Validation — prevents double voting and unauthorised access
• Remote Vote Casting — clients cast votes and retrieve results over RMI
• Result Access Control — results only accessible after voting session closes
• Secure Design — server-side enforcement of all voting rules
