It's been done, kinda. Guy named Hannu Rajaniemi wrote a dilogy called "Jean le Flambeur." I think it's in the second book, The Fractal Prince, the lead character visits Mars, which has a society where everyone has the ability to encrypt and/or sign all interactions; citizens have an organ that facilitates this, making the operations as fluid and natural as speaking. It's well thought out, well written, and the series is an entertaining read. It reminded me of John C Wright's "The Golden Oecumene" trilogy.
I was hoping someone would comment telling me they already read that story! Thanks, gonna read it asap!
