How exactly are crypto-hooks defined? This restriction seems orders of magnitude more bogus than even the ban on exporting actual encryption.
Very vaguely. If I have a function that does something like this:
authenticate (args) { ...
des_encrypt (); ... }
I would have to remove the des_encrypt() call from the authenticate() routine before it can be exported...
Would removing the call to des_encrypt() and replacing it with a comment violate the restriction? something like: authenticate (args) { ... /* squeamish ossifrage */ ... } -- |\/|ike Gurski mgursk1@gl.umbc.edu FidoNet: 1:261/1062 http://www.gl.umbc.edu/~mgursk1/ finger -l for PGP public key |Member, 1024/39B5BADD PGP Keyprint=3493 A994 B159 48B7 1757 1E4E 6256 4570| Team My opinions are mine alone, even if you should be sharing them. | OS/2
