TONIGHT !! Analysis of Electronic Voting Systems - Virginia Tech.
Edited on Wed Sep-24-03 01:10 PM by phoebe
Talk: Analysis of an Electronic Voting System
Speaker: Tadayoshi Kohno (JHU and UCSD)
Date: Wed, Sept. 24 @ 7:30PM
Location: Virginia Tech Falls Church Campus

Abstract: Recent election problems have sparked great interest in managing the election process through the use of electronic voting systems. While computer scientists, for the most part, have been warning of the perils of such action, vendors have forged ahead with their products, claiming increased security and reliability. Many municipalities have adopted electronic systems, and the number of deployed systems is rising. For these new computerized voting systems, neither source code nor the results of any third-party certification analyses have been available for the general population to study, because vendors claim that secrecy is a necessary requirement to keep their systems secure. Recently, however, the source code purporting to be the software for a voting system from a major manufacturer appeared on the Internet. This manufacturer's systems were used in Georgia's state-wide elections in 2002, and the company just announced that the state of Maryland awarded them an order valued at up to $55.6 million to deliver touch screen voting systems.
