Ever since World War II and the ensuing Cold War, cryptographic methods have been the source of much government angst. Protecting the information of one's own government and accessing the data of other governments has been a preoccupation of many nations. With the growth of civilian computer networks in the 1980s and the development of Internet-based e-commerce in the 1990s, concerns about data security spread from governments to the public sector. The tension between the government's goal of control of cryptographic methods and business' need for internationally trustworthy security resulted in skirmishes between the two. Let's discuss the modern history of cryptography in terms of commercial-governmental tensions. What can you find out about this? What are the considerations when determining how to standardize cryptographic methods? How are cryptographic methods regulated? What are the different laws that govern the use of cryptography? Are they reasonable? Whose interests are most important when determining the extent to which cryptography should be standardized, regulated, and mandated? Do a little research and see what you can come up with in one or more of these areas
