What does everyone think about this? Perhaps I already missed the boat, but I just found out about it. How would international apps work? Would a data file encrypted with an app compiled with a US-only CSP (cryptographic service provider) be able to be loaded by a European equivalent app?

I too would be interested in any insights some of the folks here might have on this API. It would seem to me that in light of some of the discussions on this list recently concerning the perversity of ITAR, that this API could easily run afoul of it. I've seen a brief article on it in pcweek and was suprised I'd not seen it here yet. Perhaps I just missed it. I hate to say good things about M$, but they certainly have the pull to perhaps get an API through. amp
