We've done a lot of work, along with other folks, to create an accessible
introduction to the issue at the Encryption Policy Resource Page:
	http://www.crypto.com

For other comprehensive websites on cryptography and privacy, usual

	http://www.cdt.org/crypto
	http://www.eff.org
	http://www.epic.org

Hope this is helpful.
