strong encryption for Europeans

["Ekaterina N. Ivannikova" <kate () forsys msk ru>]

Dear firewall experts,

I would like to know which options are available to Europeans with regard
to strong encryption VPNs. It appears that most of well known firewall
vendors are US companies and their VPNs are subjects to US law export 
restrictions.
Another question: how strong is Check Point's FWZ1 ? What is its key 
length ? Are there any estimates as to how breakable it is ? Our local FW-1 
reseller could not enlighten me in the matter. 

Thank you.
