Description

Crypto Wars: The Fight for Privacy in the Digital Age traces five decades of conflict between digital privacy advocates and government authorities over encryption technology. Beginning in the 1970s when privacy activists warned of Orwellian surveillance enabled by computers, this political history examines how both sides fought to protect citizens from perceived threats. Privacy campaigners promoted encryption as the essential defence against mass surveillance, whilst the U.S. government sought to control encryption to maintain its surveillance capabilities and prevent criminals, terrorists, and foreign spies from hiding their activities. Published by CRC Press, this book explores the ideological clash between those who viewed encryption as a fundamental right and those who saw it as a national security risk, providing essential context for understanding contemporary debates over digital privacy, government oversight, and cybersecurity policy.
