[liberationtech] Is cryptography becoming less important?

[Scott Elcomb]

I'd be most interested in hearing this group's thoughts about this post:

'In the current climate of continuous attacks and intrusions by APT
crews, government-sponsored groups and others organizations,
cryptography is becoming less and less important and defenders need to
start thinking about new ways to protect data on systems that they
assume are compromised, one of the fathers of public-key cryptography
said Tuesday. Adi Shamir, who helped design the original RSA
algorithm, said that security experts should be preparing for a
"post-cryptography" world.'
