AlbakiReads Editorial A history of the fight over encryption and online privacy
A history of the fight over encryption and online privacy
Steven Levy traces cryptography from a technical tool behind secure online transactions to a public battleground over privacy, government power, and the emerging Internet. The book centers on the people described as “crypto rebels”—technologists and advocates who joined with corporate interests to challenge restrictions on encryption. Framed as an account of a digital-age revolution, it places the development of secure communication alongside larger questions about citizens’ privacy and the control of information.

- Readers interested in the history of encryption and computer security
