Two points: the CSP development kit is export-controlled; and signing a CSP developed by a foreign vendor is treated as a export -- so the signature is export-controlled. We would ship a CSP development kit to a foreign vendor, and sign a CSP developed by the foreign vendor, but only with the appropriate export licenses. -TJ ---------- From: Dr. Dimitri Vulis <dlv@bwalk.dm.com> To: <cypherpunks@toad.com> Subject: Re: FW: CrytoAPI on Cypherpunks Date: Wednesday, January 17, 1996 8:37PM Tom Johnston <tomj@microsoft.com> writes:

We won't charge high fees (right now, it's free!). Our policy is simple: we'll sign the CSP of anyone who follows the rules.

Would you sign a foreign-developed CSP (which isn't subject to the rules)? --- Dr. Dimitri Vulis Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
