Phil probably means the infrastructure of email is the vul not the
crypto. Crypto alone is sterile, a boy in a bubble which requires
life support which can be assaulted.
Two boys in a bubble cannot make contact except in the same
bubble. End to end encryption is the bubble.
One description of the safest communication is do not
comm, unicate. Into the mountain refuge go thee, hermit,
ruminate thine self to find god ... is unspeakable.
This is not to suggest that every comsec wizard ever on
earth was not bought at birth or sold as idiot savant. Hell, the
essence of comsec is to sell security deception, aka
Typhoid Mary Mensa.
Hence this marketplace.

How ironic and sad it is that Phil Zimmermann, the author of PGP, has
become so imbued with the enterprise culture that he's now so blind to
the original peer-to-peer spirit of PGP that he would say things like
There is no way to do encrypted e-mail where the content is
protected. [1]
This is simply false.
If sender and receiver exchange keys out-of-band and nobody else knows
the keys, the content can have cryptographically strong protection.
Why would Zimmermann allow himself to be bought off? What kind of
pressure is being brought to bear? Is this protracted world-class human
engineering in action?
