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)
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.
And you have to keep things simple enough non-technical people can figure it out.
That's only for the user interface on the other side.
And it is simple, you have a physical card with say a 30 digit number
You type it in
You get to vote
Confirm
Its done
non-technical people don't need to understand how it works. How many people understand how a credit card works?
And credit card information gets leaked all the time from various hacker collectives and rogue agents.
The card probably wouldnt have your name on it, and you'd likely also have to enter your first and last name as a extra precaution
E-voting booths?
How would you even know it's running the correct software?
