I see. Cryptography research is still funding largely by the government.

I heard somewhere that a majority of Harvard mathematics graduates are employed by the government mostly the NSA.

Of course. People with something to hide are also often found hiding in honeypots.

thats true.
Thus I am afraid of using emails like www.tutanota.de where they only promise to encrypt emails but who really knows whether they were not founded by NSA.
However I dont know whether protonmail.ch is OK or not. I have several email boxes there from the beginning but use it just for curiosity.
Mainly I use enigmamail inside thunderbird but last years I am afraid that it may not be very safe at this time. What do you think is the best encrypted email? Perhaps not using email at all but how can people safely and privately communicate otherwise?

I don't know. I'm not interested in cryptography.

Hasn't the internet already been unsafe? It's full of scam ads, trolls, viruses, hackers, and people who share hate over little or no knowledge over something.

I don't know about Harvard mathematics graduates, but the NSA is the single largest employer of Mathematicians in the world.

This is intriguing, Rudin.

I'm very interested in this kind of topic right now, so it's perfect timing.

Thank you.

Yes this topic is very intriguing. Do you have any opinions on this matter? Lately people haven't been posting opinions on this thread.

By the way, you make lots of posts. You're already a Velociraptor and you started later than I did.
