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.
