your caloric heuristic optimization, is my bug. (now if only we could patch wetware! ;) Tempest: perhaps we should clarify incentives. Johnny has zero incentive in the modern social world to use crypto, and high barriers to any interest that does occur. journalists and human rights workers are motivated like never before, and likely more sophisticated. however they still struggle with technical tools for strong privacy. my challenge was to the cypherpunks list for digital monies; favorable selection if there ever was! yet still not 100% and some contexts place severe penalties on even a single, innocent failure. as for the title and research, it does not imply encryption is useless and should be abandoned. it does imply that casual, less technical users (Johnny) need a system which is intuitive, fails safe, and unambiguously expressive about failures. any improvement to usability is useful. we certainly need much improvement for pervasively employed end-to-end privacy. best regards, -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
