There are provisions for exporting DES for banking purposes. Generally it is a hardware card that "can't" be reused outside of the banking transfer machine.
So far, I've seen DES software from a couple of U.S. companies. The question is "Is it the U.S. domestic DES or "export flavored" DES? As for the hardware, would'nt it be inconsistant if the DES supplied is the Domestic DES?
As far as I know, DES is DES, domestic or export. If your DES interoperates with domestic DES (or popular implementations available on non-US servers), then you have DES.
Not quite. CDMF key shortening was designed by IBM to shrink a 56-bit DES key to 40 bits, suitable for export. See AC2, page 366. I heard a rumour that CDMF is in SET, but I'm not sure how much that makes sense. - Ian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMYj2w0ZRiTErSPb1AQFuSgP9EhcSgF/DVC1BFd8DPPUeD6C27HyR+Wqj YgXXhemNgni3WGi0v7jDnhqiId0YcRpzVnlywkKvd2O6dLZVMEavL+7qytTRlo/E iu5twOAc39JXkSj9pjpyvzChaiooujHyHKCqnCNG37Ggm4jTdHY+y59zmxy8wNka iiXVOurajKE= =1DPi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
