IMO “if a man can make it, a man can break it.” I have a relative who works for a huge Corp and is a professional computer hacker. He works with a team who daily try’s to tap into the companies security systems. Or look for weak spots and patch holes as they find them. They figure if they can, than a 15 yr old in a Romanian web cafe also can, just as easy.... |

Just never connect your voting machines to the internet and make sure the ones the average operator uses is "medialess" (no ports or drives they can plug anything into). Essentially dumb terminals. Use a secure connection to the election servers and make sure they are in a high security room. Again, no external media devices supported. Remember, Stuxnet was loaded from a thumb drive. Dial up is safer than the internet in every way but the real security would be using encrypted connections over a leased line. That might still be more than you need. Use dial up for unofficial results and courier for the official counts if it is as close as we are dealing with. |
