As various people have commented, the critical issue is the
> "one-time technical review" by the NSA.
In the absence of technical constraints, it's hard to tell what
the technical review could be reviewing - we're being told to believe
that we're allowed to export full-strength crypto,
and there aren't requirements for key compromise,
and "works in North Korea" isn't a technical requirement,
just a customer-destination one.
The requirement of course means that "The NSA Is Still In Charge",
but it's difficult to imagine what they have as criteria for review
or how they can claim to be doing anything other than prior restraint
(generally banned as a first-amendment speech-chiller) without them.
Thanks!
