> The ElectionGuard SDK will be available through GitHub beginning this summer. We encourage the election technology community to begin building offerings based on this technology and expect early prototypes using ElectionGuard will be ready for piloting during the 2020 elections in the United States, with significant deployments for subsequent election cycles.
Where is the "we invite interested developers and groups to audit this code and try to build exploits" stage?
> recently received $10 million in funding from DARPA to build a demonstration voting system
and maybe with a bounty reward program?
Then again, maybe because this is more of a reference implementation designed to be incorporated into other products (MIT license) maybe the only thing that matters is how the final implementation is done?
- pfranz 7y agoMy understanding from previous articles is that the DARPA grant went to coming up with the architecture and spec, then vendors would do the actual implementation. This looks like middleware. From this random coder's perspective, the architecture previously designed sounded good. Voting and tallying were two separate systems. A physical, user-decipherable, paper that the voter carries over connected the two (it sounded something between a QR code and scan-tron). It's good to see an open source codebase that multiple vendors would implement against.
