-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- [To: cypherpunks@toad.com] [Subject: Is crypt(1) a prohibited export?] Is crypt(1) a prohibited export from the US? I thought it was. The reason I ask is that it has come to my attention that HP ships that overseas too, with HP-UX versions 9 and 10... The man page is a bit dated: crypt implements a one-rotor machine designed along the lines of the German Enigma, but with a 256-element rotor. Methods of attack on such machines are known, but not widely; moreover the amount of work required is likely to be large. Clearly written before CBW became popular.
