Sorry, not a chance. The symmetric cipher used in Ecash is 3DES. Since DigiCash has the good fortune to be located in The Netherlands, full strength crypto can be (and is) used in all their products.
I would advise any company suffering from a loss of competitiveness due to US export regulations to do the logical thing and move their operation to a more suitable location.

And which Countries would that be? I haven't seen list of what Crypto is allowed in which countries... Does anyone know for sure... And companies will be hurt by this whole situation, and I can imagine the crap that will sneak into Firewall-1's code when Sun brings it up to GAK standards.... ___________________________________________________________________ GarGoyle Securities - -Intrusion Assessment Systems - -Security Consultation/Education/Curriculum Development - -Project Management/Research/Analysis World Wide... - -Member of CITDC (Canadian International Trade Development Council) - -Email 1: <ratak@escape.ca> Jason E.J.
