[CAVO] Fwd: [VVSG-election] [VVSG-interoperability] By November, Russian hackers could target voting machines

[Gilbert,Juan E]

Brent, you said,

Currently the " secret software  " systems coupled with VVPAT's are
condemned as insecure by government study, so we don't have to consider
the internet to sound those alarms. Ed Felton from OSTP confirms. 


Can you point me to those articles? I agree VVPAT's have issues. Just to
be clear, VVPATs are ballots printed on a continuous thermal paper roll.
However, ES&S ExpressVote and the work we have done for years with Prime
III, prints a voter-verifiable paper ballot on a single sheet of paper
versus the VVPAT on a continuous roll behind a glass screen. To my
knowledge, no one has condemned this approach as insecure in any way.
Has anyone heard anything different?


Thanks,
