Why not use GPRS/3G instead (too slow?) Anyway when using SMS to send data, a tandem with a J2me app the does the data encrypting along with unique username+pass+mobile#(+ optional date based salt) is better since spoofing of mobile numbers in SMS is _almost_ impossible without telco assistance.
how do you spoof the sms then? is the sms equipment a terminal or just a ubiquitous phone? the only security you need to worry about is the server receiving the sms and the network where the servers reside. to prevent the possibility of coerced messages its better to rely on numbers. like have 20 people sending the tally results. so all you need to do is establish the reliability and trustworthiness of the senders months before the election. and if we can find a way to track the location of the sender then thats good enough. -- the thing i like with my linux pc is that i can sum up my complaints in 5 items _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
