Comment Question for Phil: Success Stories? (Score 2, Interesting) 837
There seems to be a lot of doubt about the "good" uses of strong encryption, e.g. to save lifes, create freedom, right a wrong, etc. Most people seem to adopt a "I have nothing to hide" attitude, seeing encryption as a danger rather than an opportunity. What is your favourite success story in this regard, i.e. a story where strong encryption lead to something "obviously" good (in an "American" sense of the word)?
