Here's more on the controlled documents for cellular encryption from TIA/EIA we described in a 26 January post to cpunks: ... TR45.0.A Common Cryptographic Algorithms, Revision B June 21, 1995, 72 pp. (With ITAR notice on every page)

Of course, ITAR as recently modified says it's ok to send this stuff overseas to foreigners, as long as it's on paper. There may be separate restrictions on sending it, or on copying, but they're based on copyright or contractual non-disclosure.

Given that high-density inkjet printers can do 600x600 dpi resolution, it should be possible to achieve the equivalent of 100x100 bpi of easily-recoverable data on ordinary paper. That's about 800 kilobits, or 100 kilobytes. What does ITAR say about this? Jim Bell jimbell@pacifier.com
