Whenever I hear of an academic institution announcing to the world
a cryptographic product or component with phrases such as "dissidents
in China" and "oppressive regimes", I strongly suspect that the
product is meant to help in attracting research grants, much more
than it is meant to help dissidents in China or subjects of the
oppressive regimes.
