RE: export issues...

From what I remember you can not export 128 bit unless you hand over the key escrows to the goverment (and I can't think of a single reason ANY client would allow you to do that).  So you just have to make sure that none of the things you do involves crypto that exceeds 40-bit or so.  More detailed information can be found at:

 

Electronics Freedom Frontier - http://www.eff.org

Internet Privacy Coalition       - http://www.crypto.org

National Security Agency      - http://www.nsa.gov

 

These sites talk about current crypto law and pending legislation.

Subject: export issues...

hello,

ok, this is somewhat firewall related -- at least in the sense of security.

What issues do I need to worry about when I have a secure site here in

US and am using client-side certs that our issued from my site specifically

to places like hong kong and other possible "restricted" countries.  Some of

the legit users live and work in these areas.  My web site is NOT 128 bit

so I think I am OK there... But in general what are the rules and are there

any pointers to docs to help out???

thanks
