Crypto-anarchy

Crypto-anarchy, crypto-anarchism, cyberanarchy or cyberanarchism^[1] is a political ideology focusing on the protection of privacy, political freedom, and economic freedom, the adherents of which use cryptographic software for confidentiality and security while sending and receiving information over computer networks.^[2]^[3] In his 1988 "Crypto Anarchist Manifesto", Timothy C. May introduced the basic principles of crypto-anarchism, encrypted exchanges ensuring total anonymity, total freedom of speech, and total freedom to trade. In 1992, he read the text at the founding meeting of the cypherpunk movement.^[4] Most Crypto-anarchists are anarcho-capitalists but some are anarcho-mutualists.
