Dear All,
It has recently come to my attention that the Stanford Liberationtech Program
is now defunct and that Stanford University has decided to terminate all
mailing lists related to the program.
Some of the list subscribers have asked that the names and email addresses of
all the list subscribers be ported over to a new mailing list. Some have asked
that a new "organization" be created at Liberationtech.org. The Liberationtech
Twitter account has already been made independent of Stanford University.
I have asked Stanford's Center for Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law,
which created and ran the Liberationtech Program to allow the "community" to
take over the management of the Program as an entity independent of Stanford
University. The Center has agreed to do so.
If you would like to participate in the process of helping to shape the new
organization, please let me know. We will definitely need the help of some good
web developers and hackers to set up the new site.
Thanks,Yosem

Alright, didn't percieve that as your main point.
Well, here's what I know last time I checked:
- PRISM is a reality
- NSLs have been used to oblige such companies to
+ hand over access to their data centers
+ expect no legal harm when denying any existence of NSLs
+ expect general public to never become aware
Leaks have broken the latter promise, so those companies
had good reasons to be upset. Freedom Act has changed
NSLs in such a way that American citizen must no longer be
bulk collected, NSA must only be allowed to run "selectors"
which in the case of Whatsapp means that some backdoor
must be provided to execute surveillance on such selectors.
Also, I have to look up Casper Bowden's posts again,
somewhere the laws explicitly give zero rights to non-US
citizen - all of humanity is backdoorable and bulk
collectible. And then we have programs like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscular_%28surveillance_program%29
which explicitly bypass US law.
Isn't Patriot Act essentially obliging the NSA to collect
all it can? If the NSA must do that, then any company
impeding the NSA from doing so is breaching that law, no?

Re: [liberationtech] E-Voting
Rich, the article you link to talks about the risk of one individual voting machine being tampered with. That's not a concern with the Estonian system. The polling stations still run on ink and paper. When voting online you can use any hardware (PC, Mac, Linux, iPhone or Android phone, public or private) to vote and later verify your vote. One device being tampered with will affect only a single (or perhaps a few more if shared) voter. It would also be uncovered if the voter verifies the vote on any other device.

Ballots can be compromised, votes bought, software hacked and hardware tampered with. The question is how costly and hard it is to do so. Could Intel and AMD team up and hide a backdoor on the vote counting server's CPU? It certainly is in the realm of possibilities. However, it's extremely cost prohibitive, risky and as a result unlikely. Could a handful of people manning a polling station stuff in extra ballots or take some out? A tad bit more likely. In most countries digital ballot counting machines are used anyway and that opens up the same attack vectors as outlined above.

Given Russia's past cyberattacks on Estonia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_cyberattacks_on_Estonia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_cyberattacks_on_Estonia>) and Estonia's political stance it would be safe to say that Russia would certainly be motivated to investigate the matter. By anecdotal evidence, the ruling coalition has not seen a pro-Russia party for the last 11 years so I think it's safe to assume Russia is unable to put their foot on the scale.

Re: [liberationtech] E-Voting
Hi Zack, Estonia has been using e-voting since 2005 (and since 2007 for government elections). You can identify using the national id card (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonian_ID_card <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estonian_ID_card>) or mobile-id (https://eid.eesti.ee/index.php/A_Short_Introduction_to_eID <https://eid.eesti.ee/index.php/A_Short_Introduction_to_eID>). Transparency is certainly improved. You can check and change your vote after casting it. Estonian government even provides an iOS and Android mobile application for this. Most of the criticism comes down to voter devices potentially being phished and infected and multi-platform access aims to combat that. IDABC country report gives a quick overview: http://ec.europa.eu/idabc/servlets/Doc7bd5.pdf?id=32323 <http://ec.europa.eu/idabc/servlets/Doc7bd5.pdf?id=32323> The challenges are certainly real but so is the potential.
