     "From 2000 to 2010, fewer than 15% of the papers at
     CRYPTO that acknowledged U.S. extramural funding
     acknowledged DoD funding.  In 2011, this rose to 25%.
      From 2012 to2015, it rose to 65%.  Nowadays, many
     cryptographers put together a large patchwork of
     grants, *the largest of which are usually DoD.*"
     I'm afraid that *funding* is the biggest hurdle
     to achieving Rogaway's goals.  It's somewhat
     easier for Rogaway, as he has tenure, but how
     does a young crypto researcher get non-DoD
     funding?

   And yet he expressed fear that an errant remark on a phone call would
   lead to his assassination? I will trust him if he has a suspicious
   suicide, otherwise the hyperbole is more cause for suspicion.
