summary
Argues that bottom-up design beats top-down systems and gives concrete examples: an autonomous tape-cartridge agent design, PGP decentralized web of trust launched without its planned trust model then rebuilt with Hal Finney for PGP 2.0 using IDEA, a three-year criminal probe fueled by RSA patent conflict, VoIP key-agreement via zrtp, Signal/WhatsApp siloing, the Diginotar PKI compromise, certificate transparency using blockchain, a ~55,000 strong set in 2015, and that end-to-end crypto is essential for human-rights resistance to pervasive surveillance.
