"The big risk anyway in my opinion is that the device can be hacked and only the suspect can create a lot of trouble. "

This has always seemed the obvious problem with implementing electronic dice, and I've wondered what I'm missing that no one seems concerned about it? So, let's say I have complete faith in one or more products currently being offered -- how do I even know for absolute fact that my opponent, who produces his tablet for use in our match is actually using the legitimate product as opposed to a 'faked' version that apes the original in all apparent ways but is actually a doppelganger whose results he is able to manipulate in some way? It seems to me that all proofs of authenticity would come from my opponent's device -- which isn' real reassuring?
