[whoops] That's unusual - certainly, for the bigger companies it seems to be pretty automatic, especially for NATO countries. Of course, it could just be that Phil is "known to the authorities".
Sorry that the follow up is so late, but can anyone give me *any* examples where export of 3DES has been approved? Please be as specific as possible as to destination countries, use, etc. First hand knowledge is preferred. Thanks, Eric Blossom
