Podcasts about voting village

Im Kontext der US-Präsidentschaftswahlen gibt es immer wieder Kritik am Einsatz elektronischer Wahlmaschinen bzw. an ihrer Sicherheit. Zwar handelt es sich an vielen Stellen um reine Spekulation, doch nicht umsonst beschäftigen sich zahlreiche Wissenschaftler*innen und IT-Sicherheitsexpert*innen eingehend damit, Sicherheitslücken in solchen Wahlsystemen ausfindig zu machen. In der 26. Folge von Informatik für die moderne Hausfrau beschäftigen wir uns mit einer Möglichkeit, wie (Wahl-)Systeme beeinflusst werden können, nämlich durch das gezielte Herbeiführen eines sogenannten Buffer Overflow. Wir schauen uns an, was das überhaupt ist und wie das funktioniert, und erfahren dabei ein bisschen mehr über die Funktionsweise von Speicher. Den Bericht über Sicherheitslücken von Wahlmaschinen, den ich erwähnt habe, findet ihr hier: https://verifiedvoting.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/14-AcademicFinalEVERESTReport.pdf Mehr über das Forschungsprojekt der Masterstudierenden von der Carnegie Mellon University zur Sicherheit von Wahlen in Pennsylvania erfahrt ihr hier: https://www.heinz.cmu.edu/media/2018/October/students-target-weaknesses-election-security https://www.heinz.cmu.edu/heinz-shared/_files/heinz-college-election-security-paper-final-5.10.2018.pdf Informationen über und Berichte aus dem Voting Village findet ihr auf dieser Seite: https://www.votingvillage.org/ Alle Informationen zum Podcast findet ihr auf der zugehörigen Webseite https://www.informatik-hausfrau.de.

Until about a decade ago, independent cybersecurity researchers in the U.S. weren’t allowed to examine voting machines for potential vulnerabilities. But that ban was essentially lifted in 2015. Two years later, DEF CON — one of the largest hacker conventions — decided to invite hackers, cybersecurity researchers and election officials to find those flaws during its annual Voting Village event. Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams spoke with Catherine Terranova, executive director of Voting Village, about how they balance the well-intentioned work of finding vulnerabilities before bad actors do and the problem of misinformation around the security of voting machines.

Harri Hursti is an internationally recognized expert on election security and was a focal point in two HBO specials on the subject: Hacking Democracy (2006) and Kill Chain: The Cyber Wars Against America's Elections. So when we decided to do a special issue on election security at Cyber Protection Magazine this year, getting an interview with him was high on our priority list. We didn't expect it to happen so early, but it's a great start. Hursti runs the Voting Village program at DefCon every year in Las Vegas, under the sponsorship of the Election Integrity Foundation In this longer-than-normal interview we got deep into whether the world's elections are secure (they aren't but it is getting better), what companies are producing secure technology for voting (they aren't), and how good intentions make voting insecure. Forget the coffee, get an adult drink and listen. This is also the first episode of many this year to be sponsored by Safety National Insurance, providing protection for large organizations. Visit www.safetynational.com for more details. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/crucialtech/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/crucialtech/support

In the fourth episode of Dot Citizen's Election Security season, we sit down with Harri Hursti, founding partner at Nordic Innovation Labs and co-founder of the DEF CON Voting Machine Hacking Village. DEF CON is one of the world's largest hacker conventions, and after the 2016 elections, they announced that their 2017 conference would include a Voting Machine Hacking Village for attendees to explore and hack voting and election machines. Since then, their work has done a great deal to bring attention to vulnerabilities in our elections infrastructure.  Harri Hursti's biography DEF CON 25 Voting Village 2017 Report (PDF) DEF CON 26 Voting Village 2018 Report (PDF) WhiteHat Magazine: The Race to Secure American Infrastructure Send us your feedback on Twitter or Voxer!

Your vote counts. But will your vote be counted? Alia and Bob team up again for a very special election episode to get to the bottom of Alia’s democratic anxiety: Are voting machines even the easiest way to hack an election? At what stage is your vote most vulnerable? And is democracy doomed in the digital age?!?! Hear from a whole slew of experts – hackers, cyber-security specialists, the team at DefCon’s “Voting Village”, and more – as we break out the full lifecycle of your vote and every hackable step along the way. We'll cover: DefCon presenting their Voting Village findings in DC. Hacking into voting machines 15 years ago with Harri Hursti (Black Box Voting hacker, originator of “The Hursti Hacks”). The vulnerability of voting systems and consequences of HAVA (Help America Vote Act) with tech journalist Kim Zetter (“The Crisis of Election Security”, New York Times). Disinformation and trolling campaigns with researcher Nick Monaco (Oxford Internet Institute, The Computational Propaganda Project; Google’s Jigsaw). The diversity of election systems with election expert Maggie MacAlpine (Nordic Innovation Labs). The impossibility of securing voting software with cryptography and system security researcher Matt Blaze (University of Pennsylvania). Vulnerability of voter registration and long lines with Jake Braun (Cambridge Global, University of Chicago’s Cyber Policy Initiative, Former Deputy National Field Director for President Obama, Organizer of Def Con’s Voting Village). Hacking demonstrations on electronic DRE voting machines with J. Alex Halderman (Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society). Transmitting votes and enlisting white-hat hackers with Mark Kuhr (crowd-sourcing cybersecurity company Synack). Auditing your local Secretary of State’s election security with Adam Levin (CyberScout). Breach is sponsored by Carbonite, how businesses protect their data. www.carbonite.com

While Russian interference operations in the 2016 US presidential elections focused on misinformation and targeted hacking, officials have scrambled ever since to shore up the nation's vulnerable election infrastructure. New research, though, shows they haven't done nearly enough, particularly when it comes to voting machines. The report details vulnerabilities in seven models of voting machines and vote counters, found during the DefCon security conference's Voting Village event.

Greg & Jen talk about Greg's conversation with ES&S's security lead, and boy, they don't dig the DEF CON voting village. In our interview, we talk with fraud fighter and NS8 founder Adam Rogas on how his company is protecting small and medium online retail businesses.

In Episode 32, our hosts talk with cybersecurity expert, Jake Braun, one of the organizers of Def Con's "Voting Villages" about the vulnerabilities of our electronic voting machines. Last year's Voting Village invited hackers to find exploits and vulnerabilities in electronic voting machines. This year, they invited kids, ages 5-17 to hack replica websites of various Secretaries of State. What happened? Listen to this eye-opening episode and find out!

Host Brian Wesolowski sits down with CDT Senior Technologist Maurice Turner, who gives a report from DEF CON’s Voting Village. Not surprisingly, hackers yet again exposed some glaring vulnerabilities in America’s voting infrastructure.  And then Brian talks to Tiana Epps-Johnson, the Founder and Executive Director of the Center for Technology and Civic Life about how her organization is working to make the internet improve the democratic process - and yes, that includes elections.

Voting in the United States is under attack.  On Wednesday the Supreme Court will hear arguments on partisan gerrymandering that distorts election outcomes.  Other courts have weighed in our voter suppression efforts designed to reduce voting by disfavored segments.At the July DEFCON conference, there was a “Voting Machine Hacker Village”  which featured more than 30 pieces of equipment for hackers to try their hand at, along with a cyber training range that simulated a board of elections office network and voter registration database.  Within the first 90 minutes, hackers successfully hacked several pieces of equipment, including a machine and pollbook.Cambridge Global Advisors' CEO Jake Braun, who originally proposed the idea of the Voting Village,  joins us to explain how they did it and what it means for our future elections.
