Hello, You can find information about it at http://www.bxa.doc.gov/ - Bureau of Industry and Security. For MS politics, you can find at http://www.microsoft.com/exporting/ Regards, Alexandre Steinberg "Jonathan Grotegut" <jgrotegut () directpointe com> 23/06/2003 13:50 To: "phil baskers" <phil () baskerville cjb net>, security-basics () securityfocus com cc: (bcc: Alexandre Steinberg/RSDB) Subject: RE: 40-bit VS 128-bit Encryption Morning, I am with you Phil in the fact that I could be wrong as well. However, if memory serves correctly, they have relaxed the export laws a little bit. I believe the US will allow 128 bit encryption to be exported, except to a specific list of countries, i.e. Iraq, Iran, etc. I unfortunately don't know where I heard/read that information or where it can be verified. Perhaps the DOJ website?

If no backdoor, the limit is 40 bits. These figures are old and I cannot guarantee that they are up to date but can imagine the law would have been changed since 9-11. <snip> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Evaluating SSL VPNs' Consider NEOTERIS, chosen as leader by top analysts!
