Encryption was once the exclusive domain of governments, banks and other large institutions. The average citizen saw encryption as something esoteric, only used by spies and criminals. But today, encryption is everywhere. It secures our online banking, our private communications, even our everyday browsing. Strong cryptography is no longer just for the elite few - it now protects the digital lives of people from all walks of life. The power and promise of encryption belongs to the people. Its preservation is a right that we must continue to defend against those who would weaken it. The spread of encryption is a victory for liberty in the digital age.
