Oh, I'm not worried for 'us', but I am worried a little at 'US' ;)
Of course it might be interesting to see what the various governments will
do when an encrypted tunnel using a very strong RC5 or a 3DES is going
between say Chrysler's TIS firewall in Detroit and Robert Bosch's firewall
in Frankfurt (I think it is).
The international aspect of our industry will challenge a lot of standard

investigated if we got the Cylink gear for there like we did for the Austria
plant ( only DES based)....
