Experts Split on Internet-based Absentee Voting System's Security

摘要

A federally funded Internet-based voting system slated for use in this year's primary and general elections has unre-solvable security vulnerabilities that leave it open to widespread vote tampering and privacy breaches. That opinion was expressed last week by four members of a 10-person peer review group assigned to identify potential flaws in the Secure Electronic Registration and Voting Experiment (SERVE). Backers of SERVE counter that the security concerns are being overblown.
