<div dir="ltr"><div>I am working on the CipherShed open-source fork of TrueCrypt. I believe one of our contributors has a US security clearance of some sort. I have no problem with this, but:<br><br></div>Do US security clearances in any way restrict a person's involvement in FOSS encryption projects like CipherShed? In the US, we only recently gained the right to contribute to FOSS encryption projects with only a reporting requirement. The government surely could restrict those rights with a security clearance, but having never had one, I have no idea. Is there anything I should know about people with security clearances who contribute to CipherShed?<br>
<br>I would be quite the hypocrite to say people with US security clearances are not welcome to contribute. A company I founded did US military sub-contracting after all. I would just feel better knowing that a security clearance in no way impacts how or if a person can participate.<br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Bill<br></div>
