A History of Privacy Development in the Crypto FieldWritten by: milian

Every major technological wave begins with specialized or single-user groups, and only later develops into general-purpose or multi-user ones.
Early computers could only do one thing at a time: cracking codes, processing census data, calculating ballistic trajectories. It was much later that they became shareable, programmable machines.
The internet started off as a small peer-to-peer research network (ARPANET), and only later evolved into a global platform, enabling millions to collaborate in a shared environment.
Artificial intelligence follows the same path: early systems were narrow expert models, built for a single field (chess engines, recommendation systems, spam filters), and only later evolved into general-purpose models that could work across domains, be fine-tuned for new tasks, and serve as a shared foundation for others to build applications on.
Technology always begins in a narrow or single-user mode,
