Below are a few pictures we got of Ladar Levison at his talk about DarkMail, now known as DIME. Ladar is the hero that shut down his company to resist an NSA gag order that demanded he expose his users private encryption keys to decrypt their emails. Levison was put under court order to leak users email data that was allegedly believed to be linked with Edward Snowden, and Levison shut down his company instead of complying. Ladar Levison is a hero in the privacy community. Click the enlarge any of the following.

We would like to thank The Dark Tangent for setting up Def Con 22 and everyone there. Def Con 22 was a great experience and we hope to see a Def Con 23 next year and more of our readers attend!
