Cryptography offers wonderful tools for unbreakable data security, but only between computer nodes, leaving their human owners helpless. Encrypted tunnels terminate not at humans but at mobile phones and personal computers, exposing users' secrets to spyware from search-engine keyloggers to full-bore malware planted by crooks, hackers, and foreign spy agencies. This project aims to create a simple and strong cryptography, so that humans can, for the first time, take front seat in real security protocols. The technical challenge is to build public-key ciphers, operable manually from a mental key in seconds, and from there remake human-powered versions of many useful information security protocols.

密码学为牢不可破的数据安全提供了极好的工具，但仅限于计算机节点之间，使其人类所有者无能为力。加密隧道的终端不是人，而是移动的手机和个人电脑，将用户的秘密暴露给间谍软件，从搜索引擎键盘记录程序到骗子、黑客和外国间谍机构植入的全口径恶意软件。该项目旨在创建一个简单而强大的密码学，以便人类可以第一次在真实的安全协议中占据主导地位。技术上的挑战是建立公钥密码，在几秒钟内从一个心理密钥手动操作，并从那里改造许多有用的信息安全协议的人力版本。
