Internet Voting System Fundamentally Flawed

Internet Voting System Fundamentally
Flawed
01/22/2004 03:07 AM

A new internet voting system designed to let overseas US military personnel cast their absentee ballots online was heavily criticized in a report today, suggesting that it's nowhere near secure, and nothing can be done to make it secure, until some fundamental aspects of the internet are changed. The report describes a number of fairly basic ways that the system could be attacked, and the integrity of votes could be jeopardized. The folks backing the system brushed off the criticism by saying, more or less, "thanks, but we don't care - we've got other experts who say it's just dandy, and we'll pick the experts we like better." Of course, when it comes to security, it's nice when you can make your critics happy too. You don't really have the option of just picking the folks who support what you'd like to believe.

Something "Fundamentally Different"
Heads Your Way
06/02/2004 10:24 AM
Service Pack 2 is fundamentally different from anything Microsoft has ever done. Like any service pack, it contains a roll-up of all the bug fixes and security patches that Microsoft has released since Service Pack 1, which was about a year ago. But the big thing about SP2 is that to a considerable extent, it replaces the existing security model of Windows XP. It changes a great number of installation defaults to a much more secure configuration, which isn't hard considering that the default configuration of XP is essentially hopeless. And it changes a number of security internals to get what Microsoft promises will be a much more secure computing environment than we have ever had with a Microsoft desktop operating system. Within the enterprise, deploying it won't be too bad because it's managed. Use SMS or whatever and you can deploy what you want and set your defaults according to policy. Where it's really going to be an issue is when people start deploying it on their own machines that are occasionally connected to your networks. For one thing, it's going to break applications. They're trying to keep that to a minimum but applications that operate at a very low level, especially those that integrate with the security system -- leading candidates being anti-virus software and virtual private networks -- are likely to break.

Many Web-deployed applications are written within elaborate database-driven server-side development frameworks such as PHP and Java servlets, but for simple applications (for example, where the entire dataset fits comfortably within a Web server's RAM), data persistence can be easily accomplished using locked DBM files in conjunction with the Perl MLDBM module. This article presents a real-world example -- a Web-based voting application -- that highlights the use of minimal external modules
