Weakness in Depth: A Voting Machine´s Demise

Every voting system examined over the past decade has had severe security vulnerabilities. Virginia\´s government recently examined the AVS WinVote and learned that the vulnerabilities are more serious than any other voting system, allowing complete exploitation over a Wi-Fi network. The combination of vulnerabilities exhibits "weakness in depth," rather than the "defense in depth" frequently suggested as a model. The lessons learned are applicable to other emerging technologies, including the Internet of Things.
