A few questions concerning the access to crypto software from foreigners living in the US: - Suppose that an ISP (or a University) provides an account to a foreigner (i.e. the foreigner can access a few UNIX machines that are property of the ISP). Suppose now that PGP (for example) is installed on these machines, then the ISP expose the foreigner to crypto software, right? Is the ISP (or University) punishable by law? - Which version of PGP is the foreigner allowed to use in the US? He would violate export restriction if he uses the US version and he would violate the RSA copyrights if he uses the internation version, right? - What if the foreigner actually write crypto code while in the US? Does he (or the Uni/ISP) violate export restrictions each time he access the source code or execute his program if they are stored on a public (Uni/ISP) machine? --****ATTENTION****--****ATTENTION****--****ATTENTION****--***ATTENTION*** Your e-mail reply to this message WILL be *automatically* ANONYMIZED.
