Raul Kaidro, who is the spokesman of the SK Certification Center in Estonia, says that it will be easy and secure: The voters will just need to previously obtain a free authorized chip. This chip will have an encrypted digital signature, which will allow them to identify themselves and vote using a text message.

The tech to implement this isn’t the hard part. In the same way that each mobile phone has a unique IMEI number and can be tracked and disabled by telco providers, the security chip works the same way. Truly though, you’d have to assign one person to a single phone.

And how much does this chip cost?

McCain’s admission in a July 11 New York Times interview that: “I use the BlackBerry, but I don’t e-mail.
