InfoWorld news Overseas Democrats going to polls electronically On Super Tuesday, voters in Beijing will cast ballots for the U.S. Democratic Party presidential candidate of their choice. Members of Democrats Abroad in China will be eligible, along with fellow party members in other countries outside the U.S., to participate in the first-ever Democratic Global Presidential Primary , a party initiative to increase voting options for Democrats living overseas, including e-voting. "Americans living abroad are a constituency of their own, and we should have a voice of our own. We have different issues, and different takes on issues. That at least one party has recognized that it is its own constituency is a step forward," said David Wolf, a native Californian who runs a technology consulting firm in the Chinese capital. "The Democratic race is pretty darn exciting right now, so I guess everyone is just anxious to participate. We're also getting a lot of new members. A lot of people are signing up. And the online voting is new," said Claire Taylor, vice chair of Democrats Abroad in the Netherlands. Taylor estimated that the group's local membership increased 30 percent, thanks to the Global Presidential Primary. In the U.S., Feb. 5 will see primaries in 17 states, six caucuses and a state convention on what's known as "Super Tuesday" due to the large number of states participating and the number of delegates at stake. The Global Presidential Primary allows overseas voters to vote from Feb. 5 to Feb. 12. At stake are 14 delegates, who will join eight "super-delegates" chosen at Democrats Abroad regional caucuses later in the year, all of whom will then participate in the Democratic National Convention in Denver in August. That makes the overseas constituency similar in size to the number of Democratic delegates in Nevada, which has 25. Behind the electronic voting option is Everyone Counts in San Diego. Founded in Melbourne, Australia, it is "a software company with a mission to make democracy more transparent," according to CEO Lori Steele. Its two largest elections to date were a 4 million voter mock election in the U.S., and a local authority election in the U.K. with 160,000 voters. Steele expects "tens of thousands" to participate in Tuesday's Global Presidential Primary. In order to facilitate outside auditing and transparency, Everyone Counts' software is open source. The main components of the software are security, to guarantee encryption during the voting process; verification, to ensure that only the authorized voter is casting the ballot and then is not permitted to vote again using another method, and also to verify the total votes cast and the results; and accounting, to allow counting, auditing and certification of results by the appropriate election board. For the Global Presidential Primary, voting will be supported on about 20 different browsers, Steele said. "When voters register with Democrats Abroad, they provide various personal details that would be used to help authenticate them. On Super Tuesday, just before polls open, Everyone Counts will issue each voter registered with Democrats Abroad with a ballot number and PIN. The voter is required to provide this ballot number and PIN, combined with select personal data that they used to register, to access their ballot in the live election. The system will only allow a ballot number to be used once, so if a voter has voted but tries to access a ballot again, the system locks them out," Steele said. To participate, Democrats living outside the U.S. must first become members of Democrats Abroad, then register to vote in the Global Presidential Primary. Including a final verification step, the whole process took him a little more than 15 minutes, Wolf said. Along with e-voting, registered Democrats overseas can vote by fax, post or in person at voting centers in over 30 countries. Members of Republicans Abroad are not being offered the same opportunity by their party, although overseas Republicans may still vote in state primaries by conventional means. Democrats who live abroad may also continue to vote absentee by conventional means through their home districts. Voting in the Global Presidential Primary does not change a voter's registration status for the general presidential election in November. In previous presidential election years, overseas American voters could participate in caucuses held in foreign countries, but those were limited and usually held only in major cities, making it difficult for those based elsewhere to take part. Also, because absentee balloting procedures vary not only by state but in many cases by county, voting by mail in primaries was often seen as more trouble than it was worth. Applicants must usually declare 60 to 90 days prior to the election that they will be unable to vote at a polling place, and then must return their absentee ballot no later than the election day -- not always easy in countries where postal systems are slow or unreliable. While she lauded recent U.S. efforts, including the Global Presidential Primary, to make e-voting more readily available, Steele said it lags behind other nations. "The U.S. has really dragged its feet on accessible i-voting for overseas voters. Other countries like Estonia run an entirely online election for their voters," she said, for a registered base of about 1 million voters. Some states are already considering using e-voting systems like Everyone Counts' for the general election in November. "Using open source and having transparency in elections is what is going to propel this forward more quickly," she said. For Wolf, who has lived in China for over a decade, being able to vote electronically changed his perspective on the election. "It has made it much more relevant. It gave me a deadline to make a decision, and for the first time in 12 years I feel re-engaged in the process." (Grant Gross in Washington, D.C., contributed to this report.)

Scripting News New idea: Social Cameras! Here's an idea that came to me while waiting for a train to Genova. I was standing on a platform, across a pair of tracks a man was taking a picture of something in my direction. I was in the picture, the camera seemed to be pointed at me. I thought to yell my email address across the tracks asking him to send me a copy of the picture. (Assuming he spoke English and I could be heard over the din of the station.) Then I thought my cell phone or camera could do that for me. It could be beaming my contact info. Then I had a better idea. What if his camera, as it was taking the picture, also broadcast the bits to every other camera in range. My camera, sitting in my napsack would detect a picture being broadcast, and would capture it. (Or my cell phone, or iPod.) Wouldn't this change tourism in a nice way? Now the pictures we bring home would include pictures of ourselves. Instead of bringing home just pictures that radiate from my body, I'd bring home all pictures taken around me while I was traveling. Of course if you don't want to broadcast pictures you could turn the feature off. Same if you don't want to receive them. A standard is needed, but the first mover would own the market, and there would be an incentive to go first because it would be a viral feature. Once you had a social camera, you'd want other people to have one. And you'd tell them about it. Not sure what technology would work best here. Bluetooth isn't fast enough, I think wifi is overkill. Maybe a low-power radio transmitter? When I told this idea to a bunch of friends at breakfast this morning they said they probably already have these cameras in Japan. Do they? Personally I think this idea is as good as Checkbox News or HyperCamp , neither of which have been done yet, btw.

InfoWorld news Paypal claims gains against phishers ( InfoWorld ) - Paypal security chief Michael Barrett isn't ready to claim a victory in the fight against phishing schemes, but he said that his company is slowly turning the tide using a set of new partnerships and technological means. Along with its parent company eBay, online payment processor Paypal has long held the inauspicious title of the Web's most frequently spoofed phishing target . However, speaking to the audience gathered at the IDC Security Forum in New York on Wednesday, Barrett highlighted a number of areas where he claims that the company is making progress. Combined with more comprehensive end-user education programs -- including new how-to instructional videos posted to YouTube that offer tips on spotting common phishing e-mails -- Barrett said that by partnering with large Internet service providers (ISPs) and Web mail services, Paypal is seeing immediate results. Over half of all the e-mail traveling over the Internet funnels through a half dozen of the world's most popular ISPs and Webmail systems, including AOL, Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo, the chief information security officer (CISO) said, all of whom Paypal has partnered with. By using electronic signatures that the companies can scan to differentiate legitimate communications sent out by Paypal and eBay from all the counterfeit messages bearing the companies' names, he said, the partners are eliminating millions of phishing attempts before they ever reach end-users' in-boxes. The notion of using electronic signatures to separate legitimate e-mail from unwanted spam and attacks is nothing new, but Paypal couldn't wait for the industry parties who have become involved with developing standards for the practice to finish their work, Barrett said. Every e-mail sent out by the company has borne a signature of authenticity since Dec. 2006, and while most people aren't yet utilizing the extra source of data to scan for unwanted messages, Paypal's partners are doing so with great success, he said. "Rather than relying on the consumer, we're saying let's simply block the e-mails unless we can guarantee that they are signed," Barrett said. "By working with these partners we're finding that we can block several million e-mails per week that would have otherwise reached our customers; this also allows us to gather real-time information about what the bad guys are up to." While e-mail signing has "languished" for three years as the standards debate has dragged on, Barrett said that by applying the technique through such a powerful alliance today, benefits can already be realized. "If e-mails don't reach end users' in-boxes it's hard for them to be infected by them, and all ISPs are hoping to fix this problem because they're hearing about it from end-users," the CISO said. "They also bear the considerable cost of managing all this traffic, and they don't want it on their systems either; there's a natural incentive for [Paypal and its partners] to approach the issue in this way." Despite the apparent efficacy of the technique, Barrett warned that PayPal's current e-mail signing process won't scale to help thwart the many different iterations of phishing, as it would require any company that has become a target of the attacks to build their own ISP partnerships. Instead, the IT industry will have to establish a "clearinghouse" for approving the signatures that can serve as a go-between for businesses and ISPs, he said. Barrett said Paypal is also hopeful that tools, including browser-based visual cues that warn people about suspected phishing sites and so-called extended validation Web site digital certificates, will help end-users further discriminate between legitimate sites and phishing lures. The applications the CISO cited include browser toolbar applications that interact with newer iterations of the programs -- such as Microsoft's IE7 and Mozilla's Firefox 2.0 -- to identify suspected scam sites, along with plans to add more native anti-phishing tools into future versions of popular e-mail clients. In addition, Paypal began selling one-time password-generation tokens to its customers for $5 apiece earlier this year to offer interested users another added line of defense for protecting their site authentication credentials. Combining those tools with traditional anti-fraud modeling and phishing site blacklists shows a great deal of promise in further weeding out criminal transactions on Paypal, Barrett said. "We think that some form of hybrid authentication is the best idea, and we're using all of the elements that we already know about user behavior to tell if it is them. If someone is trying to do high-risk transactions or anything that looks suspicious, we can employ additional controls," he said. "Phishers are doing it because launching the attacks is easy and suckers still fall for it; there's very little time and money needed to build a phishing attack. The idea is that if we can slow it down, they may move and do something else." Outside of defending their own operations, Barrett said companies should also try to open lines of communication with government and law enforcement agencies that may be able to help them chase down those responsible for the attacks. While data leakage events have become a public relations and brand management nightmare for companies affected by the incidents, the Paypal CISO said businesses that become targets of phishing attacks can mitigate the impact on their corporate image through hard work and preparation. "You can't be complacent about it. If it hasn't happened to you yet, count your lucky stars and start building a program because sooner or later someone will find you," said Barrett. "You have to be upfront with customers and explain what the bad guys are doing and how they can protect themselves, and try your hardest to lower the impact."
