The silliness of DMCA harkens back to the time when cryptography was officially classified as a "munition" by the State Department. All this DMCA nonsense serves to do is stifle legitimate research that would ultimately benefit the American public. Enough is enough already!

This guy should go directly to the DOD or someone in DC to bypass the system. They are looking for people like this.

Strong cryptography really is a powerful munition, and the U.S. would certainly be more secure if we'd been able to restrict its export abroad, and we were acting on sound legal and strategic grounds to try to do so. Of course, technology made those efforts futile, and we're less safe as a result.
