Who Are CryptoRights Foundation's Clients?

CryptoRights clients are generally either humanitarian groups or individuals & organizations connected with computer security work:

• Human rights workers & journalists who need secure and protected communications in order to more safely work on transforming our global society in positive directions. This security and protection includes: secure field communications and evidence protection/authentication for war crimes investigators, protection of data about witnesses to crimes against humanity and for whistleblowers who document abuses of the environment by powerful interests, etc.
   
• Academic security researchers who need assistance and protection from unfair regulation and commercial misconduct in order to protect the public from abuses of their right to privacy. This assistance includes: publishing the work of researchers who investigate the actual security provided by privacy & security systems (e.g., consumer privacy products, electronic voting systems, etc); legal protection for academics who wish to openly discuss the weaknesses of security protocols without fear of chilling effects (e.g., from lawsuits by corporations making false claims of robustness while providing weak security by relying on obscuring how their their protocols really work); suppression of academic security research through the chilling effect of jailing security researchers, etc (e.g., Adobe v ElcomSoft & Sklyarov).
