Cryptoanarchism

Techopedia explains Cryptoanarchism

Computer users share critical network data, while intruders wait for opportunities to capture such data for criminal activities. To address this, Internet security policies must be established.

The goals of cryptoanarchism are as follows:

• Provide better security to computer networks and defend against intruders.
• Facilitate freedom of expression. Cryptoanarchism enables access to hidden data and Web pages protected by Tor, Freenet and other types of security software.
• Create challenging application environments for cryptoanarchistic programmers and developers.
  
• Avoid censorship and government surveillance.

Cryptoanarchists maintain that without cryptography, data security is not possible.

Cryptoanarchism remains a key issue, and experts have concerns about cryptoanarchism's international implementation. In the U.K., citizens are legally responsible for providing passwords and other related data to the government upon request.

Another major cryptoanarchism issue is traceable physical money and Internet banking, which are services developed and promoted for virtual communities. Cryptoanarchism facilitates anonymity in such communities.
