To Fix Voting Machines, Hackers Tear Them Apart
The toughest thing to convey to newcomers at the DefCon Voting Village in Las Vegas this weekend? The Voting Village organizers—including Harri Hursti, an election technology researcher from Finland, and Sandy Clark from the University of Pennsylvania—had set up about a dozen US digital voting machines for conference attendees to mess with. Their findings were impressive, but more importantly, they represented a first step toward familiarizing the security community with voting machines and creating momentum for developing necessary defenses. "The key is collaboration," said security researcher Victor Gevers, who cofounded the internet safety and security-focused GDI Foundation and attended the DefCon Voting Village. The DefCon Voting Village offered a number of voting models, including a notorious decommissioned WINVote machine from Fairfax, Virginia—a model known for having blatant security flaws such as exposed Wi-Fi vote tallying—and Diebold ExpressPoll 5000s.
