Papal elections are more secure than US
elections
04/14/2005 12:47 PMCory Doctorow:
The process for electing a new Pope is amazingly baroque and weird.
Bruce Schneier has posted a long and engrossing security analysis of
how the election works and how its simple and ancient procedures (and
the small number of participants) make it more secure than modern
electronic voting systems:
How hard is this to hack? The first observation is that the system is
entirely manual, making it immune to the sorts of technological
attacks that make modern voting systems so risky. The second
observation is that the small group of voters -- all of whom know each
other -- makes it impossible for an outsider to affect the voting in
any way. The chapel is cleared and locked before voting. No one is
going to dress up as a cardinal and sneak into the Sistine Chapel. In
effect, the voter verification process is about as perfect as you're
ever going to find.
Eavesdropping on the process is certainly possible, although the rules
explicitly state that the chapel is to be checked for recording and
transmission devices "with the help of trustworthy individuals of
proven technical ability." I read that the Vatican is worried about
laser microphones, as there are windows near the chapel's roof.
That leaves us with insider attacks. Can a cardinal influence the
election? Certainly the Scrutineers could potentially modify votes,
but it's difficult. The counting is conducted in public, and there are
multiple people checking every step. It's possible for the first
Scrutineer, if he's good at sleight of hand, to swap one ballot paper
for another before recording it. Or for the third Scrutineer to swap
ballots during the counting process.

11/03/2003 04:23 AMSay what you want about how great OS X is, but Apple dropped the ball
when it found out there were vulnerabilities in its flagship operating
system. It didn't release a patch when the issues became public,
didn't ask the company that found the flaws, @Stake, for any time to
produce a free fix, and has resorted to spin to save itself further
embarrassment. By Patrick Gray (ZDNet Australia via MyAppleMenu)
