Let's wait and see whether AES will be genuinely exportable.
Surely you jest. The head AES honcho will send you (in .de) the CD of the english specs, but not the one with the code. Like it matters.
I suppose one should not forget one aspect if AES is to become an ISO standard. There will be different implementations but one needs validations. For compilers there are validation centres run by certain institutes authorized by some national standard organizations (certificates of validation are issued). Similar facilities should be assured for the future AES. Implementation as such can't in my opinion be a big problem outside of US. M. K. Shen
