The Center for Democracy and Technology, a nonprofit advocacy group based in Washington, promotes public policies to protect civil liberties in computer and communications technologies. Founded in December 1994, the CDT maintains an active presence on encryption-related issues and has pressed to have export controls removed for strong cryptography. The group staunchly opposes proposals that effectively let law enforcement agents gain immediate access to encrypted files and communications without the owner's knowledge.
