> I however think we should instead focus on creating good enough encrypted communication for email, chat... for two reasons. What exactly do you propose? We already have large swaths of insecure encryption, for example opportunistic TLS [1], and the "export" crypto leftover from the 1990s. Designing some sort of mediocre encryption system that's both "good enough" to defend against typical criminals and simultaneously only "a little bit more expensive" for the well funded nation states seems like a poor use of expertise. Also it will have a shelf life: attacks only get better. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunistic_encryption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opportunistic_encryption
