Hughes, Eric, Gilmore, John, and May, Tim Team - technical definition

Thinking that a need existed for privacy in an open-information society, Eric Hughes started the Cypherpunks with John Gilmore and Tim May. Calling themselves a wandering band of cryptographers, advocates for privacy, and anarchists in a digital world, the Cypherpunks have a prolific email list that purportedly synthesizes mathematical concepts with the practical issues of a cultural revolution.
