Ladar Levison is having a rough summer. Itâ(TM)s a little less than two months since the Lavabit founder was forced to shutter his secure email service amid legal complications. While the tech press has been piecing through the details, Levison has been slugging it out in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, trying to defend the principles of cryptography in a federal courthouse. When I met him, he was in the midst of a press tour through New York, raising funds for his legal defense.
