It's cards

2018-07-17 01:52:51 UTC  

So?

2018-07-17 01:52:57 UTC  

You'd have to do something better.

2018-07-17 01:52:59 UTC  

Common sense

2018-07-17 01:53:06 UTC  

No one would actually care

2018-07-17 01:53:10 UTC  

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

2018-07-17 01:53:22 UTC  

And you can fuck with the numbers

2018-07-17 01:53:29 UTC  

No, you cannot.

2018-07-17 01:53:37 UTC  

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

2018-07-17 01:53:38 UTC  

I dont think you understand this method

2018-07-17 01:53:43 UTC  

Say you have 300k citizens

2018-07-17 01:54:08 UTC  

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.

2018-07-17 01:54:09 UTC  

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

2018-07-17 01:54:25 UTC  

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

2018-07-17 01:54:36 UTC  

And the cards sent out

2018-07-17 01:54:44 UTC  

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

2018-07-17 01:55:00 UTC  

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

2018-07-17 01:55:07 UTC  

And you just have to figure it out.

2018-07-17 01:55:10 UTC  

mayeb a blockchain generation algorhythm would work

2018-07-17 01:55:28 UTC  

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

2018-07-17 01:55:29 UTC  

i mean has bitcoin been hacked ???

2018-07-17 01:55:29 UTC  

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.

2018-07-17 01:55:40 UTC  

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

2018-07-17 01:55:44 UTC  

^

2018-07-17 01:55:59 UTC  

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

2018-07-17 01:56:04 UTC  

There was one where double spending was found out.

2018-07-17 01:56:26 UTC  

And you have to keep things simple enough non-technical people can figure it out.

2018-07-17 01:56:40 UTC  

That's only for the user interface on the other side.

2018-07-17 01:56:49 UTC  

And it is simple, you have a physical card with say a 30 digit number

2018-07-17 01:56:52 UTC  

You type it in

2018-07-17 01:56:54 UTC  

You get to vote

2018-07-17 01:56:56 UTC  

Confirm

2018-07-17 01:56:58 UTC  

Its done

2018-07-17 01:57:10 UTC  

non-technical people don't need to understand how it works. How many people understand how a credit card works?

2018-07-17 01:57:37 UTC  

And credit card information gets leaked all the time from various hacker collectives and rogue agents.

2018-07-17 01:57:53 UTC  

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

2018-07-17 01:58:09 UTC  

E-voting booths?

2018-07-17 01:58:20 UTC  

How would you even know it's running the correct software?

2018-07-17 01:58:25 UTC  

?

2018-07-17 01:58:31 UTC  

Maybe. But what's the difference between that and electronic voting machines?

2018-07-17 01:58:40 UTC  

The fact they're networked?
