Noun: The
Electronic Frontier Foundation, (www.eff.org) established to
protect the
online freedoms and
rights of
people worldwide. They oppose laws against
encryption. To show how serious they were, they built a machine to break the
US government cryptosystem called
DES, as documented in their
book "
Cracking DES". They don't like that the
NSA won't let their book be published online.
