My experience has been from te early 80s I thought encrypted communications would grow to a world wide phenomena - but I was a bit optimistic. Top security professional in my opinion don't tell people to encrypt which is there best form of security. It seems to me there are two or three types that use encryption (1) those that actually need it (2) computer nerds who think it's some holy grail (3) ordinary people trying to get more ordinary people to see sense I posted your little bit of advice to a Linux group on FB - the reaction was not as I expected - condescending replies in the main - none of whom and the intelligence to see the implications - I felt I was defending what was a good idea. Today with increased surveillance from security forces reading everything we do you would have thought that those involved in politics would at least use encryption - they have no idea what one is talking about. Thirty odd years have past - and still 90 per cent of the population who use computers and smart phones have no idea. Well 99.9 per cent :) I seem to hanging on to a vital bit of technology - and every one I know is still throwing flint spears at Hairy Mammoths :) Rant over - I shall go back to silent observation :) David -- “See the sanity of the man!
