Re: 128Bit Encryption

The answer is Yes, to most countries with 128bit keys. I know of several
that US companies cannot deal and the reasons:
US State Department won't let us "export" to:
Cuba
Serb-Bosnia
Libya
North
Korea
Algeria
(I'm pretty sure)
I've heard
some know of a couple more countries, but I haven't been able to confirm
each yet.
Outside Countries won't let us "import" into:
France - They
will allow up to 128bit Encryption in Products shipped into their country
if that company has submitted a waiver, per product (per code revision
number) and had that approved;
China -
This is an
excerpt from (
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20000127/tc/usa_encryption_1.html
):
- “All foreign and Chinese companies or individuals using encryption technology, which protects electronic communication from eavesdropping, must register with the government. The registration is the first step in a move to force foreign companies to reveal their encryption secrets and possibly an outright ban on the sale of foreign encryption products in China.”
This list obviously changes often depending on who's happy with who this week vs. last week, so this might be a little bit short on 100% accurate.....
