There has been more hype about "Jihadist" crypto software lately. For example:
http://www.eetimes.com/rss/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=205918680 I'll note that the presumed users would probably be better off with a well vetted program like GPG. I'll also note that there is literally no way to prevent people from writing such software, since they are non-US nationals living outside the US. (As much as we would like US law to apply to all foreigners living abroad, that's not how the world works.) None the less, I'll predict that this "news", which has been hyped in several places of late, will be brought up by some as a reason why we must restrict crypto exports, never mind that this "solution" would in no way alter the availability of cryptographic software to terrorists, any more than New York City gun control regulations would prevent AK-47s from reaching fighters in Congo.
