Speaking as someone who has done security in consumer electronics for 10+ years, I've never been asked by any sort of designer to be involved in the design process. It's usually the case that engineering receives the requirements docs, then I go through those and start looking for problems.

One of the things I hope to achieve by going back to design school is learning not only design, but how to talk to designers in their language for those instances where I'm "just the engineer" on a project.

I'm curious, how many of you Ix designers actually work with, hire,
or consult with security experts before finishing a project? Of
course this wasn't even a high-tech attack but the equivalent of
telling the voters to use pencils and then erasing them. Does anyone
even have a user testing program that includes people trying to f*ck
with the system?
