Unless Australia forbids _importing_ crypto, not a crime. PGP 6 is the MIT
There are no restrictions on importing crypto into Australia, there are some on export (hardware only) due to COCOM. ObBtw, I recently queried our Attorney-General's department on this topic, along with, inter alia, questions relating to whether Clipper like systems are of interest to authorities in Australia. The reply, the AG's Security Division, was that `I understand that encryption is not an issue' -- but he acknowledged they'd been following the US controversy. I'm still waiting for some replies back from another Government Dept and have a few other avenues to chase up, when I do I'll make available the information (if this particular geographic oddity is of interest to anyone ?).
