Comment : | Item (d) of this section, while surely well-intentioned, is in my opinion an infeasible requirement. Particularly, "precluding data leakage through shared system resources" is nearly if not completely impossible. I would love to see a requirement that voting software not be used in a shared operating environment at all, but without such a requirement, side-channel information leakage is unavoidable.
