\lquote[CIA director]{Mike Pompeo}{The use of strong encryption in personal communications may itself be a red flag. Still, the U.S. must recognize that encryption is bringing the golden age of technology-driven surveillance to a close.}
\rquote{Edward Snowden}{Encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto systems are one of the few things that you can rely on.}
\lquote[Former FBI director]{James Comey}{If the challenges of real-time interception threaten to leave us in the dark, encryption threatens to lead all of us to a very dark place.}
\rquote[Cryptographer \& security writer]{Bruce Schneier}{Security is more than encryption, of course. But encryption is a critical component of security. You use strong encryption every day, and our Internet-laced world would be a far riskier place if you didn't.}
