You can also contribute to the worldwide work toward privacy and personal
cryptographic security in various other ways. Organisations working in this area
include:

http://www.eff.orghttp://www.freecrypto.orghttp://www.gilc.org

Consider joining or otherwise supporting one or more of them if you aren't already
doing so. Or writing your congressperson or senator or local newspaper or . . .

Or link to these sites, and to sources of good crypto code, from your web page.

Your government restricts you in some important ways, but you also have a great
deal of freedom. By all means, use it to help remove the restrictions.

details of the problems encountered.
