On the one hand, the phone becomes a truer handheld computer, fully enabled to exceed native carrier and device restrictions. On the other hand, the phone becomes a miniature co...
As city administrators grapple with the notion of tying all their apps into one overarching network, should they be looking to open source as an alternative to apps from vendors? Enterprise-level open source apps exist, and are used both by the federal government and by large corporations. For examp...

In the years after the 2000 Florida general election controversy, election officials worried about public confidence in voting and, fueled by $3 billion in federal funding for election improvements, presided over a swift transformation of...
A new study suggests that dynamic memory on computers stores encrypted, secure data longer than originally thought.

Election technology vendor Diebold suffered a leak of the original software code used to run older versions of its controversial e-voting machines late last week.

California Attorney General Bill Lockyer said he would si...
As U.S. elections draw near, computer science experts and e-voting critics are making dire predictions about the outcome if paperless, closed-code touch-screen machines are used by Americans casting their ballots. The criticism grew into a challenge at the Black Hat Security Conference in Las Vegas ...
