Think about how many dead people will be voting

SSN would be very easy to compromise, IMO. In the US we don't have government IDs beyond that either.

I've seen government security. I wouldn't trust it to get a ballot to everyone who needs it and still be robust enough to not be compromised by some intelligence service somewhere.

If voting was done online

Offense > defense.

"Oh no the dead people"
Sure it might happen more, but its quite rare as is.

Also

It's rare because we don't vote online ya fag

The most secure way i can think of, having novice knowledge of these sorts of things

Is to hand out physical items (Some kind of card) every year

To every citizen

With a very long string of numbers on it or something

It's not as rare as you think.

That they have to input when voting

Not gonna work

Why not?

It's cards

So?

You'd have to do something better.

Common sense

No one would actually care

If it's cards you could easily start by intercepting the cards or reverse engineering the numbers.

And you can fuck with the numbers

No, you cannot.

You might make an argument if you had RSA tokens or something.

I dont think you understand this method

Say you have 300k citizens

But I've seen enough stuff get compromised I wouldn't trust 300 mil RSA tokens to be a workable defense against a determined opponent.

But you set out a number with however many digits, that results in 10 trillion possibile combinations

You have the 'real' answers recorded on whatever is tracking the vote.

And the cards sent out

And you match the numbers to the records. Yeah, but how are you making the numbers.

There's going to inevitably be a pattern (the people who run these things tend to be lazy)

And you just have to figure it out.

mayeb a blockchain generation algorhythm would work

It doesn't even have to be 100% decoded, just enough to flip a couple strategic locations.

i mean has bitcoin been hacked ???

You obviously couldnt be lazy. But if you had this setup by people who are familiar with digital security, i doubt that'd end up being the issue.

"if it's easy to figure out people will just figure it out" - that's not a very compelling argument

^

If you talk with people in digital security they'll tell you to assume you've been compromised from the start.

There was one where double spending was found out.
