Subject: SunSecurity Provider & USA export restrictions
We have read with interest the Java specs for security.
We are left with one question about the export of the technology outside of
the USA.
We had understood that the USA export restrictions had prevented American
companies from exporting encryption algorithms using "keys" of more than 40
bits.
Will we in Europe be able to use the SunSecurity Provider with keys greater
than 40 bits i.e. 128 bits and above ?
Some people here wondered if these rules had changed recently.
Thanks in advance
Jackie Hale
