Embeddable cryptographic processors are enabling a host of new defense communications applications, such as smartphones and tablet computers for tactical use on the front lines, but should soldiers be using the same object for both secure and insecure communications? Or does this create a conflict of interests?

This source gives a variety of examples in which encryption is used for security everyday, like ATM machines and DVD players. It seems like this is a pretty useful list because it goes into sufficient enough depth to describing the different examples, and specifically explains how encryption comes into play - without making it too long or hard to understand.

This article discusses the faults in former deputy director of the CIA Michael Morell's statement that the use of encrypted apps made it difficult to stop terrorists. Claims that encrypted communications put them out of reach was false - there had been no change in al Qaeda tactics. Also, author Howard points out that there isn't a clear dichotomy between privacy and security.

This page is from the University of Texas, and it describes different aspects of cryptography in everyday life. For instance, it explains how cryptography plays a large role in authentication, digital money, and time stamping. I liked this webpage because it had a lot of different examples with clear explanations.

Online collaboration over the claimed proof "P versus NP" demonstrates the potential of the internet in the field of mathematical and intellectual research alike. The proof "P versus NP," if verified, would make obsolete modern cryptography, which works under the assumption that P does not equal NP.
