Cryptome Site Shutdown
John Young’s Cryptome website has been shut down by its service provider. Over the years Cryptome has provided valuable insights into the history and development of cryptographic science as well as attempts to limit and control the use of cryptographic technology. Cryptome, and Young personally, were often under pressure from the United States and Foreign Governments to remove content and cease operation.
Update: Cryptome appears to be back up.

Cryptome got slashdotted, thanks to the shutdown notice, but it looks like it’ll still be up, traffic permitting, for about a week yet at it’s current home.
