Testing and Certifications

• Today
• ESS adheres to, supports and embraces rigorous
  testing and certification processes.
• Todays certification processes are far more
  challenging than generally understood.
• Great deal of duplication and inefficiency in the
  existing federal / state certification processes.
• Tomorrow
• New processes and standards proposed by the NIST,
  the TGDC and the EAC can be beneficial in many
  ways.
• Greater transparency in the systems and in the
  testing processes are both important and
  legitimate goals.
• The ongoing viability of voting systems vendors
  is also an important and legitimate goal.
• Solutions which meet both transparency goals and
  the commercial viability goals can be found.
