Actually approving of disapproving a piece of software for sale to U.S. citizens is not currently possible.
Sure. The Commerce Klaus of the Constitution lets them do it if they want to, though that required Congressional cooperation.
That would certainly be less of a stretch than some other commerce clause cases. Crypto can be used interstate, and there's a compelling state interest in form of The Four Horsemen. Heck, we should all thank our lucky stars that our freedom-loving congresscritters let us use computers at all. I believe it was Wickard who was told he couldn't grow food to feed his own pigs because the government has a compelling state interest in keeping interstate food prices high. Surely terrorism and kiddie porn, which is all people ever use the net (let alone crypto) for, are even more important than high food prices.
TRUST NO ONE!
