The Cybersecurity 202: DARPA has a plan to making voting machines far more secure
An “I Voted” sticker is shown in the Voting Machine Hacking Village during the Def Con convention.
If the project is successful it will make it far more difficult for hackers to penetrate and manipulate voting systems as Russian hackers tried to do in 2016. Once DARPA achieves its goal, it plans to simply publish all the technical details so any organization that wants to build the new machines can do so.
“We feel the best way is to open it up to the best hacker community in the world,” Salmon told me. “This is getting us a lot better evaluation than we’d get from hiring five gurus to attack it.”
