“Crypto has always been about the form of power which is now enshrined within the modern science of cryptography. It has always been about the capacity to conceal, and to hold secrets for oneself, and how such secrets generate their own intrinsic power from their being as a secret. It is this understanding of power that resides within each of us directly, and there is no person, government, party, or institution that may ever take that away from any of us. It is the knowledge/ power that is anarchism and its final weapon of cryptography in our digital age.”
