Rogway tries to describe the moral responsibilities of the cryptographic community — responsibilities that, he believes, that community has failed to live up to. Worth a read. "We need to erect a much expanded commons on the Internet. We need to realize popular services in a secure, distributed, and decentralized way, powered by free software and free/open hardware. We need to build systems beyond the reach of super-sized companies and spy agencies. Such services must be based on strong cryptography. Emphasizing that prerequisite, we need to expand our cryptographic commons."
