John Young offered RSADS/Security Dynamics press release:

2-26-97.

"Security Dynamics Unveils RSA SecurPC 2.0"

The package is claimed to the first 128-bit encryption software to be exported from the US and its territories, and allows companies to implement "seamless, full-strength encryption" worldwide.

Seems the sales blurb press release from RSADS/Security Dynamics is misleading, checking out the web page referenced: (http://www.rsa.com/rsa/prodspec/rsasec/sec_eval/) Crypto strength reduced, but functionality intact In order to make this ground-breaking product available internationally, we have applied for and received a Commodity Jurisdiction from the US Department of Commerce. This means that the strength of the cryptography has been reduced from the commercial product available in the US and Canada in order to comply with cryptographic export regulations, but the rest of the functionality has been left intact. This Trial version of RSA SecurPC uses 40-bit RC4 keys and 512-bit RSA keys. For more information about the product, see the product description page. What happened to "the first 128-bit encryption software to be exported from the US and its territories"? In reality: more 40 bit cripple-ware.
