Kaspersky Calls For Cyber Weapons Convention

Posted by Unknown on from the weapons-grade-software-strikes-back dept.

judgecorp writes with a synopsis of talk given by Kaspersky at CeBit "Cyber weapons are so dangerous, they should be limited by a treaty like those restricting chemical and nuclear arms, Russian security expert Eugene Kaspersky has told a conference. He also warned that online voting was essential or democracy will die out in 20 years."

    Just because I buy Kaspersky's anti-virus doesn't mean I support what that man stands for.

  2. I think they should adapt ATM machines for voting by Marrow · · Score: 4, Interesting

    1. You get a print-out of your vote.
    2. You can optionally get a print-out that says whatever you want in case you are under duress.
    3. There is a picture record of who voted for your ID in case of a question of voter fraud.
    4. The machines are already everywhere, wired and secure enough to handle money.
    5. You dont have to congregate at a place away from your work.
    6. Your vote is filed under a random number, so you can call your vote back up if you are concerned about tampering
    Im sure threre are other good reasons
