The only person who can "protect encryption" is you.
No government, nor regulatory body, nor judiciary is going to demand that you have easy access to mathematical constructs.
They may even force some entities to only provided weak approximations.
But the math exists regardless.
At some point, at some time, the fight against encryption becomes a fight against speech, and knowledge, itself.
And like those fundamental rights, the only way to protect them, is to exercise them, continuously.
I didn't spend the last 6 years building open source, peer to peer metadata resistant communication applications and libraries for fun.
I did it because any secure communications that rely on a centralized service provider is forever reliant on the whims of whatever jurisdiction regulates it's existence - that is not ground on which you want to anchor your rights to communicate and associate free of surveillance.
Anyone who thinks they can successfully ban math is going to have a bad time.
This is the mindset. This is the way. The first step is to understand why the tools are essential. The second step is to learn how to use the tools. The third step is to figure out a way to improve them.
