The computing and internet environments have a much different scale than they did in the early 90s, and encrypted protocols were still a big fight with the NSA/FBI to get implemented.
Even DNS with RSA signatures on it got blocked by anti-Communism export control laws, and getting IPSEC implemented required Gilmore hiring a bunch of non-US people to develop it outside the US.
Phone networks weren't allowed to use decent encryption.
NAT was also controversial because it broke the end-to-end principle that had made it easy to develop applications across the net.
