Does Anyone know if 128Bit Encryption is allowed outside the US?
the issue is not where it's allowed, but whether US companies are allowed to sell it overseas. the law was recently eased, but there are still some issues with respect to export licenses. getting a suitable license is feasible. i know that we (VPNet) can sell it overseas (subject to a couple of restrictions, such as the State Department's list of Very Bad Countries), but some of our competitors are not yet so fortunate. richard
