Headline: Encryption battle ends peacefully Technology will block circuitry in exports without U.S. licensing Byline: BY RORY J. O'CONNOR Mercury News Washington Bureau Date: Published: Nov. 16, 1996 Opening: WASHINGTON -- Computer companies and the federal government appear to have peacefully resolved a fierce battle over the export of powerful coding software in computers. The computer makers plan to use new technology that would block the use of code circuitry in exported computers unless both buyer and seller obtain licenses in this country.
