Comparing the Security of Electronic Slot Machines and Electronic Voting Machines

2008-12-24 06:02:27 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
...Electronic voting machines are used, at most, twice a year -- often less frequently Slot machines involve money. Electronic voting machines involve something much more abstract Slot machine accuracy is a non-partisan issue. For some reason I can't fathom, electronic voting machine accuracy is seen as a political issue

Evaluating Electronic Voting Systems Equipped with Voter-Verified Paper Records

2008-05-22 14:32:01 by Editor in IEEE Security and Privacy
 
...electronic voting systems' performance emerge following many elections. To encourage full public confidence in the electoral process, some researchers recommend equipping electronic voting machines with voter-verifiable audit trails that print out paper records that voters can read and verify. In this article, the authors report on their...

Magnetic Ring Attack on Electronic Locks

2008-06-18 06:35:16 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
...electronic motor lock on two ways Scenario 1: An electronic motor is nothing more then a metal part on an axe that turns because of a changing magnetic field. Turning electro magnets on and off will generate a pulling force on the metal part, making it rotate. The ring does the same thing. By turning the ring, the metal part in the electro...

New Research Results for Electronic Voting

2008-05-22 14:32:01 by Editor in IEEE Security and Privacy
 
...electronic voting (e-voting) systems that were widely deployed to replace the pre-scored punch-card systems, systems that had have been frequently judged to be central to the problem in the 2000 Florida general election. The (premature) deployment of e-voting machines stimulated a new field of security and privacy research around the subject...
