Announcing the ACCURATE center

It's really been tough not being able to talk about this, but it has now hit the press. The NSF has funded our center-level CyberTrust proposal titled, "A Center for Correct, Usable, Reliable, Accurate and Transparent Elections" (ACCURATE) to the tune of $7.5 million:

• "NSF Awards $36 Million Toward Securing Cyberspace"
• "Johns Hopkins-led Center Will Study and Develop Voting Technologies"
• "UC Berkeley part of NSF-funded center to study e-voting"
• "NSF center aims to bolster security and trust in e-voting"

I'll add some thoughts shortly below the jump... in short, my Phd thesis work is now fully funded.
