Description

Explore the long-standing conflict between digital privacy and government surveillance with Crypto Wars: The Fight for Privacy in the Digital Age. This political history examines the half-century struggle surrounding digital encryption and its impact on society. In the 1970s, activists warned that computer-mediated mass surveillance could lead to an Orwellian State. They viewed encryption as the primary defense against such a future. Conversely, the U.S. government argued that widespread encryption would protect criminals, terrorists, and foreign spies, creating a different kind of dystopian threat. This book tracks how both sides fought to protect citizens from what they perceived as the most dangerous risks to democracy. It provides a deep look into the political battles fought to control encryption and the tension between maintaining national security and preserving individual privacy in a digital world.

Key Features

Examines the historical arguments used by activists who predicted the rise of mass surveillance states.

Analyzes the U.S. government perspective regarding the risks encryption poses to national security and law enforcement.
