Encryption Keys Stored in Plaintext Within Election Database – FIPS 140-2 Violation (GA)

The EOG Report and independent forensic analysis confirmed that Dominion stored master cryptographic encryption keys unprotected and in plain text within the same database used to store election data and produce contest results – in direct violation of FIPS 140-2, which requires cryptographic keys to be protected within a cryptographic module from unauthorized access. This violation was confirmed in election databases from multiple Georgia counties including Appling, Bibb, Coffee, Jones, and Telfair. The plaintext keys provide access to “all tools and information including usernames and passwords necessary to manipulate, fabricate, produce, and/or replace election results…without detection.” This vulnerability is the most catastrophic single-point security failure documented in any certified U.S. election system.
