    this was the period, and just following the period, when Phil Zimmerman first released strong cryptography into the civilian domain (PGP). The US federal government started a virtual war against this, and did everything they could to make Phil’s life miserable for years – he was persecuted. To help characterize the times for you, the only way he could release the source was to print it in books, then sell the books worldwide. This was still legal (although it infuriated the feds) because printed books had censorship protections and freedoms. People would buy the books, scan in the code (a very tedious and error-prone process, especially for crypto code), and (try to) compile it. This is how strong crypto first left the military domain and found use around the world
