In the cryptographer’s panel discussion last month at RSA 2008, Ron Rivest took the opportunity to relate his recent work in voting and announced his collaboration with David Chaum and the Punchscan team in an upcoming paper presenting Scantegrity II (invisible ink). Rivest goes on to discuss the ongoing EAC VVSG comment period as well as the notion of ‘software independence’ in voting machines.

Watch the video of his discussion of voting HERE beginning at 17′:00″. This video also contains excellent discussion from crypto all-stars Diffie, Hellman and Shamir.
