Crypto hooks, or more properly, crypto pads.

This raises a question: If you provide a place for a crypto chip but don't install it, shouldn't you be able to export it?

This is why I think the latter interpretation is flawed: Historically, the mere fact that a system can interface to another one that can do crypto can't be used to restrict it.
