I have no doubt that enterprising hackers will be able to hack the international version of lotus Notes to make it as secure as the domestic version. It is probably just a matter of NOPing some code.
The real problem is the 64 bit key in the domestic version. This conforms to the NIST "standard" for an exportable system. In other words to allow the international people to have almost non-existant 40 bit security, they have limited domestic users to 64 bit secuity. The 64 bits keys must be breakable at least in some sense or the limitation would not be in the NIST "standard". {stuff deleted]
Something just came to mind... What if there is not difference between the exportable and non-exportable versions? Could it be that they are *both* GAKed? Maybe I am just being paranoid (or thinking that IBM might just be lazy enough to push out a single version under two versions), but it is something that needs to be determined. Does anyone out there have access to both versions for a comparison?
