The usual issue: That if a foreign-originated product even appears to be a standard (so far, none have been), and includes strong crypto, then the NSA and other agencies will simply change the rules.

I agree. The reason for enforcing ITAR is to keep good crypto of the *domestic* market. If ITAR no longer accomplishes that, new laws will be passed. -- Lucky Green <mailto:shamrock@netcom.com> PGP encrypted mail preferred.
