It is easy to subvert SMS. Attackers with basic target information can easily trick phone companies into porting numbers after passing identity checks. This has been used by fraudsters to ensure banks' transfer warning SMS never reach victims."
A tamper-proof SMS voting system can be tested at the number 0706379559. Start by sending a small MPESA amount to cover the replies you will get. 10 shillings allows 30 replies (1 shilling buys 3 replies). Thereafter you will get a message indicating further steps. There are mock elections where you can test the voting system. At present the demonstration does not use USSD. It uses flash SMS messages. You should reply to the message like any normal SMS message. This is inconvenient. The USSD software is already in the system and USSD will be offered as soon as funds to set up a USSD code become available.

Can you share the paper?On Fri, Apr 7, 2017 at 6:21 PM, Oyunga Omamo via skunkworks <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> wrote:I have developed a tamper proof SMS voting system
that can be used in any election including our national
elections. Let me emphasize that I am serious when I say
tamper proof. I have published a paper on the system. There
are mobile numbers where the system can be tested by
arrangement. I would like assistance to organize a workshop
to discuss the possibility of electronic voting in Kenya and
to expose the system to a wider audience.If any one wants to test the system, please inform me through this forum.George
