Missing the point: 1,064-bit encryption
If you don't get Crypto-Gram, or don't subscribe to Bruce Schneier's blog, do so. Today he posted a little gem about a county buying voting machines, who is detailing their decision to use a certain vendor. One great reason: “Uses 1,064 bit encryption, not 128 which is less secure.” People actually trust these people to run their elections? On another note, they mention they can put the machines in junior high to encourage voting. From what I remember of the u.s. education system, isn't that up to about 8th or 9th grade? If you're 18 and still in junior high, there's probably more pressing issues than voting... or maybe those people who grow up and select voting machine vendors?
