The answer is to have some non-USA entity build shareable full fledged full powered crypto libraries and provide them for free for the rest of the world and for all machines. Wouldn't there still be licensing issues to deal with (in the states at least)?? I'm sure RSA would claim that the package would be in violation of the licensing...
If you did everything in an RSAREF-compatible manner, that would help; I think somebody outside the US has written an RSAREF-clone. Some problems include building programs that have generic-callout hooks instead of crypto-specific hooks (so that they don't get bitten by ITAR), while still maintaining reasonable efficiency and convenience. #--- # Thanks; Bill # Bill Stewart, Freelance Information Architect, stewarts@ix.netcom.com # Phone +1-510-247-0664 Pager/Voicemail 1-408-787-1281 #--- # Export PGP three lines a time --> http://dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/export/ M0V]N9W)E<W,@<VAA;&P@;6%K92!N;R!L87<@+BXN(&%B<FED9VEN9R!T:&4@ M9G)E961O;2!O9B!S<&5E8V@L(&]R(&]F('1H92!P<F5S<SL-"F]R('1H92!R M:6=H="!O9B!T:&4@<&5O<&QE('!E86-E86)L>2!T;R!A<W-E;6)L92P@( T*
