Security Catalyst 38 | Voting Security Mini-Series Gets Launched – 3 Things I Learned from ‘Hacking Democracy’

by | Nov 23, 2006 | Ideas & Insights

Now that the elections are over, I figured it was a good time to step up the programming of the podcast by introducing some mini-series. I think mini-series will provide us the opportunity to pick topics that matter and dive a bit deeper. At least, we’re going to give it a try… feedback welcomed.

To kick it off, I figured we could start by looking at the security around electronic voting. Yea, I know, the elections are over. To me, that makes for perfect timing. Less stress right now, and a good time for our profession to think about how we can help to improve the process.

Here are some links as mentioned in the podcast:

HRM! It seems to have been removed from Google Video. Well, it’s still being aired on HBO – so hopefully you will get a chance to see a copy. It’s worth the watch!
