Debate renews over usable encryption for non-technical users
Original: So in the last 20 years, has anyone in open source actually figured out a good way to do cryptography in a way that does
A question is circulating about whether the open source community has, in two decades, produced accessible cryptography that works without a terminal or manual file handling. The commenter argues encrypted communication remains effectively a privilege reserved for the technically literate, and asks whether that has genuinely changed for everyday users.
Why now: Usable encryption for non-experts remains an unresolved pain point, prompting renewed debate.

- So in the last 20 years, has anyone in open source actually figured out a good way to do cryptography in a way that doesn't involve the terminal or interacting directly with files? Or is it still just a privilege that the tech-illiterate folks aren't allowed to enjoy? I know… · riverpunk@defcon.social · 10
