I'm struggling to find the official definition of "OCI", but I think it's this:

Are you sure this is the case for commons-crypto? I thought we only
supported JCE encryption and Open SSL encryption.


If it is the case it seems we have to submit a formal "encryption
classification request", and export would be more restricted on which
countries are permitted.
