Comment : | Finally, I recently read that the Department of Defense has authorized utilization of AES to the “Top Secret” level so long as the private key utilized is 196-bit or higher. If it is good enough for sensitive DoD information, I believe it is good enough for elections. I personally have no problem with this being a requirement for voting system technologies utilizing wireless. Thank you for your time.
