In many countries there are none. France is pretty bad.

Greetings.

I am looking for a concise description of the restrictions overseas on the use of cryptography, and how those restrictions affect the operation of a cryptographically-enabled web server.

I have been told that users of programs like PGP in france are required by law to register their secret keys with the state security apparatus. Does this mean that users of secure web servers need to register their secret keys as well? Is anybody doing this? Is the law enforced?

What about other nations that have recently passed restrictions on the use of crypto? Other than Russia, which are they? Is there a list anywhere?

Thanks.
