When the process includes both paper and digital, When the process includes both paper and digital, you have parallel records that can be cross verified. But technology isn’t just parallel, it’s deeper than paper in that it creates multiple datapoints in the #voting and tallying processes. Each one of these additional datapoints is a cross reference to validate the accuracy and authenticity of the vote. For example, the initialization report that’s generated on device startup confirms that there are zero votes in the system. You know you’re starting clean. It’s one more datapoint. Every datapoint is encrypted and has a digital signature to guarantee authenticity. There’s no way to substitute a datapoint or to add or subtract votes between datapoints #WeAreSmartmatic #VotingTechnology #ElectionTechnology #Cybersecurity

Think of security like soccer: the object is to wi Think of security like soccer: the object is to win by scoring goals, but every team has its own strategy to put the ball in the net. Every company has its own approach to secure systems and working with teammates, such as #electionofficials and suppliers. The goal is verifiably secure elections. We use a model that includes a security triad of process protocols — secure development, secure operations and internal verification – that are matrixed across six high-level security requirements: confidentiality, integrity, availability, access control, auditability and physical security. This ensures quality and consistency. #ElectionSecurity #ElectionTechnology #Cybersecurity #WeAreSmartmatic
