It would be great to have a set of them publicly available and evaluate
existing tools against them so users can pick the best tool for their
situation. With additional tips on operational security for each case
this would be far more valuable to security conscious users than
something like the EFF Secure Messaging Scorecard.

Evaluating existing tools against specific scenarios also will show gaps
in protection that can be used to guide development of new systems.

Does anyone know of a resource where specific use cases like this are
collected? Preferably based on requirements of actual people instead of
plausible, but made up ones?
