Não são apenas os brasileiros e os norte-americanos que descobriram falhas graves de segurança nas urnas eletrônicas.
Gostei da estratégia usada para chamar atenção para o problema: mais do que apontar falhas, eles descrevem *como* explorá-las para modificar resultados ou transformar as urnas em máquinas de jogar xadrez. "In a just-published report (PDF, in English, cached here), the Dutch we-don't-trust-voting-computers foundation (Dutch and English) details how it converted a Nedap voting machine, of a type used in Holland and France, to steal a pre-determined percentage of votes and reassign them to another party. The paper describes in great detail how 'anyone, when given brief access to the devices at any time before the election, can gain complete and virtually undetectable control over the election results.' As a funny bonus, responding to an earlier challenge by the manufacturer, the researchers reflashed a voting machine to play chess. The news was on national television (Dutch) last night and is growing into a major scandal. 90% of the votes in the Netherlands are cast on these machines and national elections will be held in a month." http://politics.slashdot.org/politics/06/10/14/1641239.shtml -- Nelson Ferraz Free Software Foundation Associate Member #3203 Projeto Software Livre Brasil (www.softwarelivre.org.br) Sociedade Perl do Brasil (www.perl.org.br) Rede Livre de Compartilhamento de Cultura Digital _______________________________________________ PSL-Brasil mailing list PSL-Brasil@listas.softwarelivre.org http://listas.softwarelivre.org/mailman/listinfo/psl-brasil Regras da lista: http://twiki.softwarelivre.org/bin/view/PSLBrasil/RegrasDaListaPSLBrasil
