Section :  6.7.2.1

Comment :  "If wireless communications are used in a voting system, then the vendor shall supply documentation describing how to use all aspects of wireless communications in a secure manner."

Comment:

I-6.7.2.1 The wording "all aspects of wireless communications" is too broad a requirement.  A vendor should only have to document how to use something within the scope of the methods it uses/deploys.

Recommended Change:

I-6.7.2.1 "If wireless communications are used in a voting system, then the vendor shall supply documentation describing how to use all aspects of the deployed wireless communications in a secure manner."
