en/torusers.wml    31) It was originally developed with the U.S. Navy in mind, for the primary purpose of protecting government communications.

en/torusers.wml    32) Today, it is used every day for a wide variety of purposes by the military, journalists, law enforcement officers, activists, and many others. Here are some of the specific uses we've seen or recommend.
