Voting Village at DEF CON 27

[Dark Tangent]

The Voting Village will return for its third year at DEF CON 27. As it did the past two years, it will feature a speaking track that will highlight the various aspects of election cybersecurity, including the technical components that make up our election infrastructure ranging from hardware, to software to databases.

The Call For Papers is open, and we are excited to talk about the issues. Interested? Jump in!

Not much posted here, but the village will be growing again with some new equipment and hopefully some new software to hack on.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there, if you have any questions please post here.

DEFCON VOTING VILLAGE PREVIEW — Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and former 2020 presidential candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) will speak at this year’s DEFCON Voting Village, MC can reveal. The lawmakers will join California Secretary of State Alex Padilla and former NSA national threat operations director Sherri Ramsay in the election security-focused corner of the cybersecurity conference, which runs Aug. 8-11 in Las Vegas. “The overwhelming interest we are seeing from government leaders demonstrates that securing our democracy is a national security priority,” Voting Village co-founder Harri Hursti says in a press release set to go out this morning, “and we need policy solutions that address the concerns brought to light each year by this Village.”

The Voting Village sparked controversy last year when the National Association of Secretaries of State dismissed its findings about voting technology vulnerabilities by saying the test conditions were unrealistic. NASS said at the time that it looked forward to working more closely with the village’s organizers this year. That appears to have happened: This year’s event will “feature a significant increase” in government speakers, including “prominent state and local election authorities,” the organizers said. Other speakers will hail from the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Pentagon. And good news for attendees seeking a hands-on experience: Per the organizers, there will also be “a more extensive array of voting equipment” this year.
