For anyone who is familiar with technology and science: ( I have listened to professors who designed/involved in designs etc and *very* impressed in simplicity and robustness of the device -- literally encryption used here, and security against hacking is comparable to the safeguards we use for our nuclear weapons etc)Tanaji wrote: ↑17 Jun 2024 01:39
This is hilariously incorrect. It would require that all the EVMs are either Wifi or bluetooth enabled. They are clearly not, and cannot be “soldered on”. The security of EVM is not just the hardware but also the stringent procedures that ECI undertakes to protect it.
It is trivial to prove that this is false but GOI is still stuck in old ways..
The EVM (Electronic Voting Machine) machines used in India are designed with robust security features to prevent tampering or hacking. Here are some reasons why it's virtually impossible to hack EVM machines using WiFi, Bluetooth, or physical connections:
Stand-alone device: EVMs are standalone devices not connected to the internet or any network, making remote hacking impossible.
No wireless communication: EVMs do not have WiFi, Bluetooth, or any other wireless communication capabilities.
Secure hardware: EVMs have tamper-evident and tamper-resistant hardware, making it virtually impossible to access or manipulate the internal components.
One-time programmable chip: The voting program is written into a one-time programmable chip, preventing any changes or alterations.
End-to-end verification: EVMs use end-to-end verification, ensuring that the vote recorded is the same as the vote cast.
Physical security: EVMs are stored in secure environments and are under constant surveillance. (But even if one get's hold of it, it can destroy the machine but can not hack it - any possible 'opening' would destroy the chip etc)
Regular security audits: EVMs undergo regular security audits and testing to ensure their integrity.
It is virtually impossible to hack or manipulate EVM machines, ensuring the integrity of the electoral process in India.
