The Cypherpunk Library is a new online resource compiling essential readings on cryptography, privacy, and digital freedom. The collection includes foundational texts, manifestos, and technical papers that have shaped the cypherpunk movement. The project aims to preserve and make accessible these important documents for researchers, developers, and privacy advocates.
Background
The cypherpunk movement emerged in the late 1980s, advocating for the use of strong cryptography and privacy-enhancing technologies as a path to social and political change. Key figures include Julian Assange, Eric Hughes, and Timothy C. May, who authored influential works on digital privacy and cryptography.
