Wanted: Cryptography Products for Worldwide Survey

(http://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram/archives/2015/1215.html):

In 1999, Lance Hoffman, David Balenson, and others published a survey
of non-US cryptographic products. The point of the survey was to
illustrate that there was a robust international market in these
products, and that US-only export restrictions on strong encryption
did nothing to prevent its adoption and everything to disadvantage US
corporations. This was an important contribution during the First
Crypto War, and Hoffman testified before a Senate committee on his
findings.

I want to redo that survey for 2015.

Here, at the beginning of the Second Crypto War, we again need to
understand which encryption products are outside the reach of US
regulation (or UK regulation). Are there so many foreign crypto
products that any regulation by only one country will be easily
circumvented? Or has the industry consolidated around only a few
products made by only a few countries, so that effective regulation of
strong encryption is possible? What are the possibilities for
encrypted communication and data storage? I honestly don't know the
answer -- and I think it's important to find out.

To that end, I am asking for help. Please respond in the comments with
the names -- and URLs -- of non-US encryption software and hardware
products. I am only interested in those useful for protecting
communications and data storage. I don't care about encrypting
financial transactions, or anything of that sort.

Thank you for your help. And please forward this blog post to anyone
else who might help.

EDITED TO ADD: Thinking about it more, I want to compile a list of
domestic (US) encryption products as well. Since right now the FBI
seems intent on just pressuring the big companies like Apple and
Microsoft, and not regulating cryptography in general, knowing what
else is out there in the US will be useful.
