6 Reasons why Encryption isn’t working.

Encryption is not widely used because people are more afraid of losing&#x2F;forgetting their encryption_secret_keys&#x2F;passwords than others accessing their data. Plus almost all users trust large cloud companies like Google, Amazon, MSFT. Catering to the small minority that are worried about encryption with a usable key management product (which is what is lacking today) is not financially viable since they expect a open source solution.<p>I expect the situation to get qualitatively better when software obfuscation hits mainstream.
