perhaps you are right, I have been exaggerating about its success,but yet, this is not the issue, I mean, for the sake of the conversation let's say this will be distributed for free. My dilemma lies somewhere else, in the zone of what is right or wrong. Would it be right to release such a tool which will give people the ability to encrypt data in a way authorities would not be able to decrypt, even if they have access (tap) to the providers switches. I am using standard encryption suites, yet its the power lies in the application which is currently compiled and working on almost all of the well known desktop, servers and mobile platforms.

From an ethical perspective, I still don't see the issue. You ask: Would it be right to release such a tool which will give people the ability to encrypt data in a way authorities would not be able to decrypt, even if they have access (tap) to the providers switches. Such ability already exists-- for example, by using PGP to encrypt their information prior to sending. Do you really think you're doing something that any evildoer with a CS education couldn't hack together themselves? Seriously: if you have a prototype of a security app, send it to some serious people in the security community, and ask them to take a look. Before that is done, the rest is moot.
