Read this doc (PDF), it's the specs, testing and requirements for the IEBC system.

I keep saying that too. "Transmission" is the wrong term for them to use. It's the processing.
@Mwagiru, during the first day of their "processing", I was reliably informed that their server crashed as a result of "disk full" - well, that was first hand information. I still cannot digest this personally. The database(s) could not grow to an extent that it fills a disk, unless the server was having maybe a 4GB HDD! So I kept asking myself whether that explanation was reasonable. Could they have been logging aggressively without knowing? I am saying this because if they knew about it, they could have installed a separate disk just for the logs alone. I think these guys are mostly clueless folks who have relatives in those organizations and were not necessarily recruited on the basis of their demonstrable competencies. IMHO, that is ALL the possible flaw!
Sometimes it makes sense that technical employees of such public institutions like IEBC/KNEC be vetted by their peers - they should NOT be a well-guarded secret as they are a shame to the ICT fraternity.

So, that said, and since the IEBC developers are a well guarded secret, can we deliberate on the possible design and what the possible flaws could crop up?
