Why go so far, when you can export crypto from Anguila or Canada. The ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Are you _sure_ about what you say about Canada? After all, in nearly all defense- and crypto-related matters, they are essentially the 51st State. In fact, Canada is one of the places crypto may be exported _to_ from the U.S. without any license. So, export strong crypto into Canada and then invoke the "you can export crypto from...Canada" clause?
I don't think so.
As far as I'm aware, the rule for Canada is this: If it came from the US, it can only be exported back to the US. If it did not come from the US, it can be exported to any "non-evil" country ("evil" countries are ones like Libya). Then there are rules for what "came from" means, which are less clear. I've also heard "substantially modified": if software comes from the US into Canada, and is "substantially modified" in Canada, it may be exported. - Ian "having a vested interest in this topic..." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMkrjIkZRiTErSPb1AQHQXgP+KbGrV49JAe5VkGu9eSlPmKHJT9dsKTjr bEd+CocV84xvqbRI6VNQkiUMF++aHcIenjzEwMVyln3pDDbbWt6ptFp24DlZhHha 9elzVZ0ecXo2wtqVQer28dL5cok6xSpny2Wz35jxiUe1SNjNBi71jJOvdlOD+aI9 vKcCb2jHECU= =JZ8x -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
