00:00The Commission on Elections showed the testing of the Trusted Build for the election of 2025.
00:05COMELEC said that this is critical to ensure that the automated election system will be used properly in May.
00:13For Mayonabalita, this is Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:15COMELEC showed the election watchdogs, media, and the public the process called Trusted Build
00:24for the election management system that will be used in the election of 2025.
00:29With the help of ProVNV, an international certification entity based in America,
00:35Trusted Build was built to ensure that the verified and approved source code in the election of 2025
00:42will be converted or used as a machine-readable code.
00:46This is the production mode build that will be used for printing ballots.
00:53Yeah, because the ballot printing is going to start on January 6.
00:58This is what the ballot phase design will do after our January 3 deadline.
01:02So when they say that it will be printed on January 4,
01:08when we use it, we have January 4, 5, and then 6, the printing will start.
01:17The process took two and a half hours.
01:20The result is inside a USB.
01:23It was stuck in a sealed container and signed to ensure that it will not be opened by an unauthorized person.
01:29It was sent to the Philippines and will be hidden in the vault of the Central Bank of the Philippines.
01:34Your hash code is your identifier that the actual program is just that.
01:40That is its uniqueness.
01:42If it's a car, that is the body number and engine number.
01:45Any change that you do there results in a change in the hash code.
01:50That's why it's sacred to us, particularly to watchdogs, that hash code.
01:55That's the only way we can be sure of what we saw and what we expect to run.
02:02Is that really what's running?
02:04It is being monitored to ensure that the system will not be compromised.
02:08Hackers will need a considerable amount of time to attack a system
02:13because they need that time to move laterally inside the machines.
02:18The only problem there is the disruption of the transmission.
02:22It will be delayed.
02:24Meanwhile, the COMELEC is worried about the upcoming elections
02:27that would be avoided by using politics.
02:30This is what Jesus Nazareno said.
02:34This is the first news.
