Kate: The first rule of First Aid is to protect yourself before helping the victim. Otherwise the next person has to take care of two victims. We need exactly that in regards of security and privacy tools. We need to weave the crypto-tools into the fabric of the Net, used by anyone at every site and every connection, even if normal users use it to spill their lives on facebook, only then can we start to train those who have a life-or-death need for security and privacy, the activists, journalists... Katy's remark above sums it up nicely. Disclosure: I'm working on a protocol and implementation to make weave ubiquitous crypto into the net[0]. My biggest hurdle: how to get people to use it....
