Strong Encryption's Role in Privacy After NSA Overreach

Most of us would agree that the NSA has spread its nets too far and cut deeply into our personal privacy. Ultimately, and perhaps ironically, I am hopeful this transgression will leave us with better protection for our personal communication than ever before. I predict that more and more communications service providers will provide strongly encrypted communications by default. They'll also do so in such a way that outside, unauthorized parties (the NSA, law enforcement, and so on) will not be able to get the plaintext access to data they currently enjoy -- at least not as easily as they do today.
