According to MIT's computer technology professor Ronald Rives, the blockchain is not suitable for organizing votes, although it can be used in other areas.
At the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco, Ronald Rives, a cryptographer at MIT, noted that the voting issue is very interesting and requires a more rigorous approach than other security issues.
"Blockchain is not suitable for securing votes. I think using technology in this area is more like installing a code lock on a home hob. It's good in itself in certain cases, but not for voting," Riwest said.
According to the professor, voting does not require high technology to be conducted, and anonymity and secret ballot only complicate the audit process. In addition, unlike counting paper ballots, a software developer will need to be trusted when using a blockbuster.
Recently the voting system on the block-keeper in the state of Iowa has worked incorrectly that has led to the big scandal. It has cast a shadow on use of technology in voting.
However, technology companies continue to develop block-type voting systems. The other day, Kaspersky Lab released a prototype of the voting mechanism at the Polys blocade. It allows voting both remotely and at a polling station.
