The US election system cant be "hacked" to show different results by "computers" at a federal or final state level.
State workers and party officials would notice at a city and state level. Their counted numbers would not match.
Russia would have to fly in staff that the FBI would notice.
Russian staff would have to drive and fly out to many different US cities and get election jobs.
The new Russian staff would have to work next to all the existing US staff on site and try and alter "votes" before they are counted?
The FBI would notice the influx of new workers and quick staff changes would be reported.
AC Are SJW in the US going to report people for blasphemy?
A person in the USA would expect to have freedom of speech and freedom after speech.
Is the US going to pass blasphemy laws and send out officers to explain what social media is and why blasphemy is bad?
Back in the day sites had a fence, some guard on duty and workers knew to look out for anyone who was wondering around.
Todays networked engineers replaced the union staff.
Networks span services that should never have been opened to the outside "internet" just to save costs, for investment and free trade in upgrades or so shareholders could feel good.
In the USA?
Nobody wants to pay for union workers to turn up to work and watch over equipment in their state. Just have an engineer do it from a more central location.
The selling of the upgrade hardware for the network.
The renting and selling for later upgrades, security and more networking.
Teaching staff how to use the new systems.
Some nations select their gov experts, they have jobs for life and good wages in an effort to prevent bribes or influence.
The US gives that power back to the people so they can remove a person who is not doing their job as expected or is been influenced by other people.
To hack the US election a lot of people from Russia would have to arrive into the USA for "work".
The FBI would notice that.
Drive out to the different US states.
Seek and get secure work with surrounded by existing election workers.
The FBI would notice that change in the number of election workers in each state.
Once the votes are counted within every state any hacking would be noticed at a state and federal level.
Why tell the world about methods? If a person accepts a deal?
Thats one less person going to court, finding an expert to talk about how the phone data was extracted in open court.
Or asking how the government worked with the phone, the phone maker, a 3rd party to get data from the phone.
Better to just offer deals or wait to see how many can afford court time, lawyers and have found court ready experts.
Questions of how the phone data was decrypted, extracted or accessed might see gov experts mention methods, telco/brand help or advice never expected to be understood by the US public.
In the past the UK had photocopiers in very secure areas. No paper count, no CCTV, no ID to copy, no hidden internal camera record what was been copied per page.
Spies could just make as many copies of secret documents they could walk out with every day.
New paper was ready the next day.
Once that issues was finally understood a lot of internal and external changes got made to photocopy equipment for the mil/gov.
The thinking goes back to Defence of the Realm Act 1914 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Breaking Enigma https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... . The Uk looking at all other nations 1910 to 2017 embassy codes.
Every call in the Soviet Union, East/West Germany, France, Japan been looked at for things of any interest to the UK.
Crypto was great for the UK in the Falklands War too. The UK could read everything in real time. Except some South African hardware, but that was solved too.
That was all hidden away from the wider public and interesting people kept chatting away thinking that call could never be detected.
The first changes to that was a policy shift between the UK and USA.
The USA wanted to share results within the USA, to allow police, mil, contractors to use raw collection results and get results.
More people looking, more results.
The UK knew results would leak to lawyers, police, human rights groups, spies, criminals and bad people would just understand not use phone/internet again.
The US policy finally won and now collect it all and using the results in public.
Courts, police, mil, gov can share results and the public soon knows its been collected on 24/7.
So who is right? The US with collect it all, sort it all, study it all, police it all?
Or the UK method of the 1970-80's? No courts, no police, no lawyers, no human rights groups, no media, no political groups working out methods.
Just groups like the UK mil, GCHQ and RUC Special Branch worked with raw material. Action was then taken and nobody knew anything or could request any details.
Was it an informant? A phone call? A copied paper file? A computer file? Something in the funding from the USA to Irish groups? The UK police was kept away from any and all raw information, the UK press did not know who to ask, UK lawyers did not see anything in any type of courts. Telco workers did not see changes to the amount of police/court requests.
Its a generational change between a US view of more contractors, the private sector, courts, police, lawyers, telcos been fully trusted. Collect it all, use it all.
Or the older UK view of only trust the UK mil, GCHQ and RUC Special Branch.
Breaking encryption only works if nobody ever knows and the UK mil, GCHQ and RUC Special Branch could then go get results.
It will be like making a phone call in the 1950-90's. The number calling is collected, the number called is collected. Later with better support a voice print of all voices was created.
Are the phone numbers on file? The voices prints on file? Any words used that are interesting? Is the location of past interest?
The UK hopes to build up the same level of understanding on the internet.
Who is chatting to who, what forum, social media, who first posted a movie, who watched the new movie first, second, who spread the movie link.
Was it an automated list or series of interactions by a lot of humans over many hours?
Was the link spread online, on social media or on cell phones?
Homegrown encryption could be placed over all that interaction but the creation and spread of new encryption could also be tracked from its first use, developer, any questions the creator/s had. The very first post, comment, user/s and how it was introduced on line.
Every user of new or existing encryption would be logged back to the first use or account creation.
Re "hardware and software to put document tracking information"
Expect layers of new software and hardware to create documents that will show a or a few staff who had access or created access.
The problem is the US media likes documents to send to different outside experts to prove they are real.
Font, date, designs, format, spelling, names mentioned, layout are all expected and then get reported on.
The US is now using the demand for real documents as a method to ensure their per document surveillance will make it out to be published.
The need for documents has been used as an easy tracking tool.
Expect changes to font, layout and other per document changes to be automated on document creation too.
Every document is been saved per person getting a file or opening a file in real time. A very slight but unique change per person per file.
Contractors will always have a lot staff ready for any level of US security.
Look into the past of every staff member. Education, politics, languages, university, mil, gov, internet, protests, work, hobbies, interests.. walk the resume and interview everyone in person. Educators, friends. See what a person was like.
Learn from the issues the UK had from 1930-70's. Learn how the UK solved its internal security issues.
Learn why the USA was so good at security from the 1950's-80's.
Once a person has a job with security considerations keep on looking at their work and how they use the "internet", their politics, education, interests, hobbies, friends..
Keep looking, all year, every year.
Two contractors now working together is not a new security policy.
Create perfect bait projects and files just for staff given their politics, see if they respond.
Can anyone explain how this research and development benefits anyone at all?
Overtime and contracts to look after the nuclear weapons stockpile.
Ensure the existing weapons work.
Simulate using the existing weapons.
See what upgrades can be done.
Simulate the new upgrades.
Design nuclear weapons systems.
Simulate their use.
Decades of contracts and new work.
That would be fixed in the design part. If a navy or shipping company has a crew to fix things along the way, a ship will be built to that standard.
Tell the designers they have to ensure port only service and they will build the new ship to a better standard.
A bit like some parts of a nuclear submarine. They last for a while without needing to be serviced by the crew.
In port contractors do all the needed repairs.

Let people invite the speakers they want, enjoy the topics covered, then ask questions.
