4. Testing and Certifications Today • ES&S adheres to, supports and embraces rigorous testing and certification processes. • Today’s 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.
