In an election year, voting is embedded in the national consciousness. Security researchers have paid particular attention to it, since, despite its widespread use after the election debacle in Florida in 2000, e-voting has been demonstrated to have substantial security flaws.

In this podcast, Ryan Berg discusses those flaws and extrapolates them to a broader context, demonstrating how security vulnerabilities found after deployment can undermine businesses and hurt users. He also details the three areas any development organization must shore up to deliver better security: people, process, and technology.

• A closed e-voting development culture that breeds security flaws in deployed systems
• Possibilities for addressing e-voting security flaws
• How to apply lessons learned in e-voting to all software development projects
