Well, it has been a generation since this standard business practice
   was challenged. And then went to covert cooperation to placate consumer
   anger. Why would a new generation not do the same as their mentors?
   Even here, among hackers, in universities, in corporations, in
   government,
   hats change colors, as heads and wallets and guts fatten.
   Hellman has said he regrets releasing PKC, succumbing to a young
   man's and scholar's desire for publicity over bland government secrecy.
   Now thinks national security is bigger than individual desire. This is
   the arc of maturity, especially from those who did gain publicity early
   on and now welcome invitations to serve as official advisors.
   Our cpunk heros Whit Diffie and David Wagner are serving as reviewers
   for NSA best cybersecurity paper. Others are invited to NSA and
   Congress
   to provide counsel to policymakers. Others peddle crypto to governments
   and corporations as if RSA, Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, the AV
   hustlers are the required standard of duplicity demanded by investors.

     "Dave DeWalt, CEO of security firm Mandiant, a participant in
     Friday's summit, hopes that fear of privacy invasion won't get in
     the way of the work that needs to get done. He pointed to the way
     the way public backlash to government surveillance programs revealed
     by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden stymied previous efforts to
     effectively open the lines of communication.
     "This balance between privacy and security ebbs and flows and
     unfortunately that was a huge setback -- a setback to the tune of
     several years," he said.
     "
     This is the first that I've ever heard of a tradeoff between privacy
     and security in the context of 'cyber security'.
     It's interesting to see this common trope for justifying widespread
     erosion of privacy in meatspace applied to 'cyber', where it is even
     more egregiously wrong.
