A crypto-memorial in honour of cypherpunk Hugh Daniel, who died June 3rd, 2013
On June 3rd, cypherpunk Hugh Daniel unexpectedly died.
Those who met him, know him. Principled to the core, and very present in any room, he compelled people to listen to him - both by what he said, and how loud he said it.
He was one of the cypherpunks involved with getting PGP exported to the free world by turning the software into a book, exporting it, and OCRing it at Hacking In Progress ("HIP 97"), his first out-of-the-US trip where many Dutch hackers met him for the first time.
He has made many contributions during the early days of IPsec and DNSSEC. He was a manager of the FreeS/WAN IPsec Project for many years and co-founder of The Openswan Project and recently The Libreswan Project, although his health prevented him from being as active and he wanted to be in the last two years.
As an active player in the ever ongoing Crypto Wars, his contributions have enhanced the security and privacy of everyone.
He would condone wasting a perfectly good time slot with a large audience on "kust a memorial service", so in a compromise between remembering Hugh and carrying on his work, John Gilmore and Paul Wouters will share some of Hugh's Crypto War stories while teaching some geopolitical and practical crypto deployment.
