Thank you Paul for this sad information. May Caspar continue to serve as an inspiration for many years to come.
As an indication of the length and depth of his efforts here are 4 presentations made to the Chaos Computer Club Congress over the years, going back to 2006 and most recently just 6 months ago: http://media.ccc.de/search/?q=bowden Regards, Hugo ________________________________________ From: perpass [[email protected]] on behalf of Paul Wouters [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 9 July 2015 23:17 To: perpass Subject: [perpass] Caspar Bowden has died Privacy activist Caspar Bowden has died http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/07/09/caspar_bowden_dies_cancer_battle/ Caspar was instrumental to achieving privacy and fighting the surveillance state. If you think we are in a bad situation now, you have Caspar to thank that we're not in a far worse position. His life achievements speak for themselves. Personally, when I met him about 15 years ago when he was at FIPR, he was an inspiration to me to keep working on privacy and ubiguous encryption. That the fight for privacy is much bigger than a few crypto geeks coding in their basement. He inspired and motivated me to keep doing my little bits in the grand scheme of things. Caspar will be missed, Paul _______________________________________________ perpass mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/perpass _______________________________________________ perpass mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/perpass
