I'm not a lawyer, the following is not legal advice, and I may be mixing
apples (ITAR) with oranges (EAR).  In my understanding, the only export
concerns we _might_ have is dual-use cryptography, for which we rely on
bouncy castle.

If you go to bouncycastle's wiki (
http://bouncycastle.org/wiki/display/JA1/Frequently+Asked+Questions) and
scroll to #11, the ECCN is now 5D992.c. In short, in my non-legal opinion,
you should be good, but check with your lawyers.
