we've watched Encryption grow more dominant and how we have a situation where the major corporations are not cooperating suppose that we had legislation which required to where this is headed is towards proposals for some kind of stockpile of encryption key if we're going to continue to preserve our right to free speech in the electronic age then we need to use tools like encryption it just makes sense hi I'm Zack wife's molar for a reason TV here with Ladera Levison he is the founder of lavabit the email service famously used by Edward Snowden and which he shut down in 2013 after the government requested all the encryption keys to access all the email on his server we spoke about that about a year ago at that time you said that you hoped that the revelations would kind of create a market do we have more encryption than we did before has a market in a desire for that arisen oh I think it certainly has I think my biggest problem I have with what's happened in the last year is that security and encryption have become marketing terms and unfortunately we're seeing this huge growth in the number of encrypted communication services and encrypted Internet services in general but when you dig into the details they're not truly secure how do you drill down and figure out you know what is real and and how does the layperson know what is a good encrypted product versus a bad one you mean without getting a PhD in computer engineering you have preferably it's really difficult and you know I consider myself to be I guess I'm going to use the e word an expert and you know I can't evaluate every product and service that I use every application that I download off the Play Store I really have to rely on reputation in a lot of instances one of your current endeavors is something called the dark male alliance which you're working on with a team of other high-profile people in the encryption movement one of them Phil Zimmermann who created PGP which is one of the first like widely adopted methods of encryption what are you hoping to accomplish with the dark male alliance to create a set of protocols that will allow people to build email clients that look and function identically to the way they do today but under the covers are capable of encrypting that message before it leaves your computer in such a way that only the intended recipient can decrypt it when it reaches the other end the tricky part the part we're actually spending a lot of time on right now refining is how do we build a client that does that encryption for you is completely innocuous and user friendly to the novice but still allows the expert like me to easily go in and verify that the encryption is happening properly and that nothing is going wrong...
