Security Updates

SSL and VPN

Authentication
Password authentication required and role assignments determine access levels.
Network Connections
The AskED ePollbook does not require a connection to operate. With connectivity voter information is up-to-date and enables immediate updates of voter history.
Secure Central Server
The AskED ePollbook may be securely connected to a secure central server via a WAN connection (such as an existing Internet connection, Verizon cards, etc.). SSL encryption is used to ensure that no devices may intercept this communication. A virtual private network (VPN) is used for added security. All voter history is stored in multiple locations on each AskED ePollbook in addition to being on the central server. This eliminates the need for cables.
Peer-to-Peer
The AskED ePollbooks may also be connected directly to each other within a location. This allows for any number of devices to be networked in a peer-to-peer fashion and does not require a server in the voting site. While this would not keep other voting centers up-to-date, it would ensure that all laptops or tablets within one voting site contain all voter history information for security and backup regardless of whether a WAN connection exists or not.
Command Center™
Remote configuration allows you to make updates or access reports anywhere, anytime. Administrators are able to monitor all AskED ePollbooks from a centralized portal.
Real-Time Reporting
Be the first to know what is happening across your jurisdiction. Get immediate access to voter turnout, provisional ballot counts and ballot styles voted data. These can be sorted by voter location, party, style, time and more.
