Anonymous development on a security relevant Project is no longer an option. Why not?

  Because trust is an important commodity on a project like this. Higher trust means fewer horrible things slipping past the review process.

    Anonymity is out and I'd say that being an "independent" crypto person that has to defend themself will not get you very far once you have come to the attention of the wrong people. So what options remain for the person that starts the "next Truecrypt"? The only true safe haven I can think of is employment at a public university. In many countries here in Europe the security researchers working at universities can operate under what is called "academic freedom". I wonder how that will be destroyed.

    Trust is indeed important, but is connecting a name (or a number of names) to a project the only way to establish trust?
