Our county has approved the purchase of these machines for the upcoming election. I looked them up on the www and found that the Windows-based voting machines use WEP to ensure the security of the wireless transmissions of the machines to a central site.
Without even commenting on the "security" of WEP, it seems to me that a massive DDOS attack against the voting machines could prevent vote tallies from being counted in a timely manner. Has there been any discussion of the security of this type of voting machine architecture? The machine is particular is WinVote by Advanced Voting Solutions (http://clients.enfocom.com/avs/home.html`). -Randy Marchany _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
