- logfromblammo 8y agoAnd I'm saying they can never not be a problem. The usage requirements make them 100% incompatible with election security. They are broken by design, and utterly unfixable. The specifics of the known exploits are therefore somewhat irrelevant, because there will always be some means of compromising them. So the only way forward would be to treat every last one of them as permanently untrusted hardware. While there may be some way to make them useful in an election, for now, until that PhD cryptography paper comes out that solves the problem, the only reasonable thing to do is toss them all in the trash, and go back to inked paper.
