Would it be possible for us to create a set of businesses that revolve around security/privacy on the internet that would not involve the intelligence agencies?

Intelligence agencies infiltrate. That's what they do.

What do you mean, by "not involve the intelligence agencies?"

Forgot the word “with”...no transfer of technology or working covertly with any national intelligence agency.

I think you could for a while. If you get big enough they may start telling you to cooperate rather than ask though.

In what way do you mean? I am in the process of starting a business along those lines. At present it's mainly data recovery but my education is info sec so it will have privacy / security elements.

I was mainly thinking encryption...but it would be open to our skill set.

You mean to create encryption algorithms? You have to be next-level smart for that sort of stuff - definitely beyond my skill set.

So we hire a few number theorists and check their back ground and their work as best as we can. My suggestion would be to start at Supersingular isogeny key exchange and add other post-quantum cryptographic algorithms for complexity.

Kind of what I am trying to do here.

No worries, I know I can't do it alone.
